The Surfer by Linda Cargill (1995)
3 out of 5 stars
Every once in a while Point Horror throws you a curve ball. The Surfer is that curve ball.
From the synopsis on the back of the book I was expecting your typical teenage girl witnesses a drowning, drowned girl comes back from the dead, creepy stuff ensues. What I actually got was a strange story involving an old fairy tale, a witch's curse, and a whole lot of water-related wackiness.
The downsides were that the story is all over the place, it jumps around quite a lot and feels a bit messy to read. But it makes up for that with a unique story. Overall it was a good read and one that left me asking WTF on numerous occasions!
