POV- The lake keeps a book of names longer than…

The names kept within the black leather binder notebook is well over two miles long.

No one knows how the names appear…

Or how the notebook hasn’t run out of pages.

What we do know is those on the list never make it to the graveyard.

The water as if it has a kind of its own seems those it finds worthy.

Then the lake shows just how dangerous water truly is.

Ghost of Blackmore- available online on Barnes and Nobles website.

Hollow wing- fall season release.

4/14 Edited to

... Read moreThe notion of a lake keeping a record of names that stretches endlessly is both eerie and fascinating. From my own experiences with mysterious folklore, lakes and bodies of water often carry untold stories woven into local legends. The idea that a black leather binder notebook holds a list of individuals that never make it to the graveyard adds a supernatural layer to this narrative, suggesting the lake has an otherworldly agency. This concept taps into the primal fear associated with water and its hidden depths. Water, while essential to life, has long been portrayed in horror and folklore as a conduit for spirits or a place where the boundary between life and death blurs. It reflects the unpredictability and power of nature – beautiful yet dangerous. The mystery of how names appear in the book and why it never runs out of pages evokes questions about fate and predestination. It’s as if the lake is marking those fated for a dark end or a form of eternal limbo. This kind of storytelling invites readers to ponder what it means to be ‘worthy’ of the water, and whether this worthiness is a blessing or a curse. Such narratives resonate with indie horror fans who appreciate nuanced, atmospheric storytelling rather than conventional scares. The connection to upcoming works like "Ghost of Blackmore" and "Hollow Wing" only deepens the intrigue for readers who enjoy exploring layered, POV-driven horror stories. For anyone drawn to haunted waters and the supernatural mysteries they conceal, tales like this reinforce the timeless allure and terror found in the unknown depths. Sharing this feels like recounting an eerie campfire story, one that lingers long after the last word is spoken.
