About this audiobook

A picturesque countryside retreat. A mysterious midnight visitor. An unspeakable horror waiting just beyond the glass.

When composer Roger Locke purchases a long-abandoned Connecticut farmhouse, he believes he is simply securing a quiet retreat from the bustling energy of New York City. The estate, with its tranquil woodland and serene lake, promises an idyllic summer. But from the moment he crosses the threshold, he realizes the house is far from empty.

On his first night, Roger is visited in the pitch dark by a phantom woman of exquisite beauty who leaves behind a severed braid of brilliant red-gold hair and a cryptic warning about a deadly, encroaching entity. Then, the true nightmare begins. A sickening, invisible terror—a creature of pure malevolence that emanates the foul stench of ancient decay—presses itself against his bedroom window, seeking a weakness in his sanity.

As his runaway cousin and her mysterious new husband arrive to manage the property, Roger finds himself drawn into a chilling supernatural war. He must uncover the secrets of a breached dimensional barrier and the magic of an occult gold pomander, relying solely on his unbreakable willpower and the whispered guidance of his elusive nocturnal savior.

The Thing from the Lake is a masterfully atmospheric plunge into the esoteric unknown, blending gripping cosmic horror, spine-tingling suspense, and an unexpected touch of romance. Dare you step up to the barrier and peer into the terrifying abyss?
