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 Burlington, Vermont for the 2026 Northeast Natural History Conference 2026. Say HI if you're also here!
Took a short walk through Centennial Woods this morning, walking distance from the hotel, as a tech rehearsal for this afternoon's field trip to Russell Farms.

lol back in 2022 both Steve Bannon and Steven Cheung (the trump spokesman whose corporeal form resembles the monstrous outcome of an experiment with an ogre and a donut gone terribly wrong) worked on #BrockPierce's senatorial campaign.
Brock Pierce, for those who remember, was the co-founder of one of the most infamous fully confirmed hollywood pedophile rings in US history and was arrested in Marbella in a house full of guns and child pornography prior to becoming a crypto evangelist. he co-founded #Tether, a massive crypto fraud called #EOS, blockchain capital (current owners of #Bluesky) and so much more. he's also tight with #Netanyahu's son Yair.

University of #Vermont based Cluster member Ijaz Ul Haq pushed the boundaries of his work for #AGU23.
As a computer scientist he’s familiar with using #data in his research. For the reaearch he presented today he applied that skill set to pure #environmental science examining data sets from two sites examining #soil temperature and mositure as they recovered from #wildfires.
