The Ocean at the End of the Lane
by Neil Gaiman
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered Lettie who claimed the pond was an ocean and the unremembered past comes flooding back. A strange frightening past. Books are available to borrow. Join us!
