The Hollow Deep

In the serene village of Reigny lies Lake Reigny, a place of beauty cloaked in sinister legend. In 1915, a man named Edward Bletchley committed an unspeakable act, drowning his fiancée, Elizabeth Garrett. But Lake Reigny does not let its secrets rest—Elizabeth returned, forever changed and forever hungry.Seventy years later, in the summer heatwave of 1985, young Tom Calvert disappeared beneath the dark waters of Garrett's Point, forever altering the lives of his family and the entire community. His brother, Lyle, accused and ostracized, fled Reigny, haunted by memories and unanswered questions.Now, forty years after Tom's disappearance, Lyle returns, drawn back by a new wave of vanishings eerily similar to the past. Driven by guilt, grief, and an obsession to uncover the truth, Lyle finds himself tangled in a web of secrets, lies, and the enduring whispers of Lake Reigny. As he fights to clear his name and confront his childhood trauma, Lyle must face the chilling possibility that the Hollow Deep is more than mere folklore—it's alive, it remembers, and it is waiting to claim him.
