    Summary

    he huddles into himself, wanting to crawl into his own skin, to become so small, so six-years old and safe, so in his mother’s arms again, again. he clenches his teeth, tears trickling down his cheeks, long whines emanating from his throat, almost like an animal.

    rose puts a small hand on his back, the shape of an apology she has no reason to be giving except that she’s the one standing there.

    “welcome home, frank.”

    Summary

    “Mr. Crow stared at the lifeless body strung up before him: Laura Vanderboom. In another life, his brother. [...] Because underneath, Laura and William were so alike it burned like a knife buried in your ribcage. Every second, every breath was agony, as he tried to think only of Laura. Yet every image was superimposed with the frame of his brother; they were one and the same, after all.”

    or

    In the events of The Mill, Mr. Crow is confronted with Laura’s corpse. He remembers that before he was ever Mr. Crow, he was Aldous Vanderboom and this is his reincarnated brother. His brother who has died (again).

    Summary

    Spring 1860. James Vanderboom arrived at Rusty Lake. His uncle had just passed away under mysterious circumstances. James was his uncle’s only heir. He had no idea of the events that would unfold and change his life.

    This is an unofficial novelization of Rusty Lake: Roots. It is my attempt to find a balance between RL's surreal setting and a more cohesive narrative.
