Appalachian Horror - Summer of the Drowned: A Supernatural Thriller of a Haunted Lake and the Ghosts of a Sunken Town
A remote cabin. A final vacation before graduation. Five friends thought they had found the perfect escape, but Dead Elk Lake isn't just remote; it's wrong. The water is unnaturally still, the woods are unnervingly silent, and a creepy local has given them one stay out of the water after dark.
One drunken dare changes everything. One friend is lost to the black water, sinking like a stone in a way that defies physics. Now, trapped with no cell service and no escape, they learn the horrifying truth the locals have always known. The lake is a graveyard—a whole town called Devil's Hollow was drowned beneath its surface a century ago.
But the dead don’t rest easy.
When night falls, the true residents of the lake begin to surface. Gaunt, smiling things with an ancient hunger, the drowned ghosts of the hollow have been waiting. Trapped by a rising flood and hunted by creatures from a watery grave, the friends' last hurrah has become a desperate fight for survival against a town that refuses to stay buried.
In this valley, the water remembers. And it is thirsty.
