Sinopse

In the tranquil and enigmatic town of Saintpotden, a dark legacy insinuated itself amidst the shadows of everyday routine. It all began with what seemed like an innocent family heirloom: a porcelain doll, ancient and delicate, found its new home within Friedrich's family. 
  
But as weeks slipped by and clocks marked the passage of time, the dark secrets of this doll chillingly revealed themselves. Its inert face lay as a silent witness to a subtle malevolence slowly emerging. 
  
The first signs of its malevolent power manifested when the doll shifted its position in the dimness of the room, a subtle yet unsettling metamorphosis. The changes were barely perceptible at first, but with time, they became as noticeable as they were disturbing. 
  
A laughter emanating from its sealed lips, increasingly sinister with each repetition, echoed through the corners of the house, suffocating the peace that once reigned in that home. Unexplainable incidents plagued the tranquil family life, hinting at a terror that extended beyond the borders of human understanding. 
  
As the doll unleashed its malevolent influence, nights in Saintpotden were tainted by a series of murders, a dark omen that plunged the town into a cloak of fear and bewilderment. 
  
In this seemingly serene haven, hints of unsettling neighbors emerged. Kurt, Friedrich's enigmatic neighbor, displayed disturbing behaviors, casting suspicions on the connection between his strange conduct and the curse looming over the doll. 
  
The conclusion loomed amidst sacrifice, forging a path to peace at an unfathomable cost. The culmination of this battle against the bewitched doll would unfold, leaving the people of Saintpotden with heavy hearts and a peace obtained at an unimaginable price.

    In this poetic and haunting tale set in contemporary Appalachia, New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash illuminates lives shaped by violence and a powerful connection to the land. 
    Les, a long-time sheriff just three-weeks from retirement, contends with the ravages of crystal meth and his own duplicity in his small Appalachian town. 
    Becky, a park ranger with a harrowing past, finds solace amid the lyrical beauty of this patch of North Carolina. 
    Enduring the mistakes and tragedies that have indelibly marked them, they are drawn together by a reverence for the natural world. When an irascible elderly local is accused of poisoning a trout stream, Les and Becky are plunged into deep and dangerous waters, forced to navigate currents of disillusionment and betrayal that will force them to question themselves and test their tentative bond—and threaten to carry them over the edge. 
    Echoing the heartbreaking beauty of William Faulkner and the spiritual isolation of Carson McCullers, Above the Waterfall demonstrates once again the prodigious talent of “a gorgeous, brutal writer” (Richard Price) hailed as “one of the great American authors at work today” (Janet Maslin, New York Times).

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
     
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
     
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
