Beneath Eldritch Lake David X Reiver

Horror Lurks"Once the lake has you, don't expect to come back."The small town of Eli sits beside the placid Eldritch Lake. When Ozymandia Caduca returns to pay his respects to his dead father it feels that things have never changed. But when his father's body disappears and Oz witnesses a number of brutal incidents, it becomes clear that old nightmares are stirring beneath the surface. He will have to face past trauma and new threats with extreme prejudice if he hopes to retrieve his father's remains; he'll have to go even further if he plans on surviving the night. Taking a hard right turn away from earlier satirical work David X Reiver explores the malevolent city of Eli with wreckless abandon. A Lovecraftian twist to the old hardboiled detective stories of yore, Beneath Eldritch Lake is a story or alienation, death, and loss. You've visited Twin Peaks, drove past Silent Hill, and heard about Riverdale, but only a few sleepy coastal towns has prehistoric demons living underground. Eli is one of them. What the Town of Eli had to say about Beneath Eldritch Lake "Salacious lies! Strange beasts? Murder? If we knew where our legal team was, we'd be firing off a Cease and Desist right about now. Consider yourself lucky that Bruce, Susan, and Jurgen have all vanished without trace!" Eli Tourism Board"For the record, our bar is only haunted by low, low prices and outstanding customer service." Wendigo Tavern"It's common knowledge that our residents shouldn't leave the house at night, so we can't be held responsible for anything that happens to people who ignore that advice." Clancy Barlow, sole police officer"We're hiring." Goyadyne Industries.
