Crystal Lake: The Novel

"Crystal Lake don't give up her dead." 

In 1971 the drowning death of 11-year-old Jason Voorhees broke something in his mother, Pam. As her grief curdles into bloodlust, a series of horrific revelations threaten to shatter the small town of Crystal Lake. 

Based on the thrilling original Friday the 13th prequel series from Brad Caleb Kane, Crystal Lake: The Novel reinterprets the origin story of two horror icons into a wickedly grisly, paranoid slasher saga.
