BLACKWATER VAL: a thriller
“Death is a highway, forever winding through whispering fields of corn—transcendence on one side, damnation the other. Where we ultimately come to be depends on the choices we make, and upon those we choose not to.”
Somewhere in America’s heartland it plays out. A widower, traveling with his dead wife's ashes and with his six-year-old psychic daughter in tow, returns to his haunted birthplace—a small Illinois town built atop a network of long-forgotten plague pits—and enters the nightmare world of a terrifying, centuries-old malevolence that has taken up residence there. Or has the evil been here all along . . . rooted in his own past? The town seems darker, wrapped in unspeakable shadow now and death. Secrets buried away will come unearthed like graveyard bones, and innocence will be lost. But not everyone is what they appear to be. Battle lines are being drawn, fates entwined. A momentous storm is coming, after which nothing can ever be the same again. And inevitably this ghost-ridden valley will lie steeped in blood as hellish forces orchestrate to claim the lives and souls of all.
