A golden time — that's what Chris Anderson, his brother Aaron, and their friends expected of that final summer. Freedom, and lazy, pleasure-filled days before the responsibilities of college and career. An idyll in the seclusion of their newfound hideaway on the shores of three small lakes.||||But Tri-Lakes is no oasis. A millennium ago it became the focal point of a powerfully malevolent force, and the remnants of an ancient bloodfeud.||||Hatred is its source.||||Blood gives it power.||||Only sacrifice can banish it.||||PRAISE FOR OASIS:||||"Hodge once again plays by the rules, but with a frightening catch ... His characters breathe, and his prose is chilling and crisp." — West Coast Review Of Books||||"Hodge writes well, he is adept at both atmosphere and action, and his sense of story is good. Like [Stephen] King, whom Oasis continually echoes (but doesn't copy), he keeps the reader's interest — a major task for many horror writers today ... He's made the jump from the small presses to the mainstream in a short time. Oasis is one reason why." — Fangoria||||"Fine degrees of nuance and shading ... Hodge's knack is in invoking sympathy for his characters. He draws on a talented mix of humor and suspense to entertain. It makes for compelling style." — Deathrealm
