Five years have passed. Five years of good health, happiness, and absolutely nothing creepy in the woods of Campbelltown. All it takes is one tree to fall, and things get pretty scary. The Curse Awakens is the much requested sequel to Madman Across the Water, and it brings back all the characters from the first book, along with all of the things that made them scared to go near the woods. The body count is mounting, and this time the curse threatens to grow until it takes far more than the people of this quaint town. Can they stop the creature before it’s too late? Can they find who called the creature back? this time, there’s more to worry about, with the spirits of those that were murdered coming back to finish what was started all those generations ago.
