Description
When floodwaters recede from the struggling town of Stillwater, Maryland, they leave behind the mutilated body of a child—and awaken something far more dangerous than a natural disaster. As children vanish, livestock are found slaughtered, and unsettling sightings spread through the community, Officer Ben Journell and the town’s residents begin to confront a threat rooted in the dark waters of the Narrows. Blending creature horror with a richly atmospheric portrait of a town already sinking into economic and emotional decay, the novel explores fear, grief, isolation, and the fragility of small-town safety. Its brooding, rain-soaked setting and gradual escalation create a grim, immersive tale of an ancient menace rising from the shadows.
