The Unknown by Riley Sager
When I first saw the title, The Unknown, I thought it was something paranormal. I found out while reading the book, it meant an unknown actress. I like the double meaning as the story unfolds.
Five women disappeared from an Island off Vermont in 1926.
In present day a film crew plans to film the story and to get the actors into character they plan to spend a week on the island living in the same cabins and wearing the same type of clothing as the missing women.
People in the area avoid the island. There are hints of it being haunted. The actors arrive not knowing everything until they arrive with no way to leave.
After a séance some creepy things happen, and the actors begin to disappear one by one.
The story is told by Marin Keane, an unknown actress who has been given her big break by this project.
The women are rivals and don’t seem to get along.
This time though there is a man. The director is on the island with them.
Over the next week, all of them learn more about each other than they probably should. This promised that sometimes people can be scarier than ghosts or demons.
No one is safe and they need to leave but have no way to do so. That is scary but not that scary. Well, I guess there is more than just that. There are some scary things that happen, but I was able to read this book in bed at night and didn’t get goosebumps or feel the need to leave the light on. So, it didn’t pass that test.
I heard once that this author takes other people’s horror stories and rewrites them with his own personal twist. I think as I was trying to figure out what to say in this review, it came to me what story it reminded me of. I won’t spoil it by telling you what I think it is.
I was looking forward to reading this one because I am in the mood for a good ghost story. This story was all over the place, but it wasn’t the experience I’d hoped for.
I am a Sager fan, and I have read a couple of his books before. I hope to eventually read all of them. This one isn’t my favorite, but I am not sorry I read it.

I'm in a position where I have to reach out for help from my family, friends, and correspondents here in our Fediverse. I do not do this: It's right there in my bio, that I won't use this great platform for fundraising or to sell anything; that I don't follow those who use it solely for such purpose. I'm a hypocrite I guess. I'm more than greatly concerned - I'm terrified that Society might not seize the huge opportunity here & now for the systemic change necessary to protect our #healthcare here in #VT, other rural areas, and around the country. Governance is great but governments are unreliable. This isn't charity, nor even mutual aid. This is about our sovereignty. I'm looking for a handful of people who'd like to be members in our effort. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Brought to you by Vermont PublicRutland Regional won’t close its inpatient pediatric beds — at least for now
> The sudden reversal came as the Green Mountain Care Board was preparing to use its newly-enhanced regulatory powers to vote on whether or not to allow the closure to go forward.
Kudos to GMCB for proper muscle-flexing! Vermonters and healthcare finance analysts must watch how RRMC hospital will now master its budget WITHOUT CUTS TO VITAL SERVICES. And every stakeholder which is all of us needs to watch closely now, how our own actual medical service providers and I don't mean insurance companies (who provide nothing but debt & prolonged suffering) evade shortfalls.

Classic Film Club to screen, well..., a classic film (duh), The Thin Man (1934), starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, at Marquis Theater in #MiddleburyVT #Vermont, 1 p.m., Feb. 20. Free.
See:
- A reluctant detective solve a murder;
- A little dog steal scenes;
- Cool trick shots with a BB gun.
- A wisecracking couple consume massive amounts of alcohol.
One of my all-time favorites (and I don't even drink).

@JosephAndriano Not good. Friends in Barre posted flash flooding last night was higher than last year.
Waterbury seems to be under water up to Main Street again. All downtown Rec camps closed, and road closures continuing up and down Rt 100.

Helped cleanup the some stuff at the farm I used to work at this morning. The #vermontflood hit some of their fields pretty hard, with zucchini plants literally hanging from trees around the fields. The water made some big ol sinkholes too. If you're in #vermont consider donating some time to your local farmers if they want it.

Looks like Vermont has another season now. To wit: Winter, mud season, spring, monsoon season, summer, stick season, leaf season.
Time will tell if 'monsoon season' replaces 'summer' altogether.
