The Suicide Lake

Book of Shadows, Book 2

By: Michael Penning

Narrated by: Stacey Devonport

Deep in the mountains, the deadliest demons are her own.

Abigail Jacobs has spent years hiding the truth: she’s an occultist who hunts the dead. By day she plays the part of a respectable schoolteacher in 1812 Boston. By night she drinks too much, swears too often, and does whatever it takes to silence the spirits that haunt her past.

She keeps her double life buried—until her estranged sister appears on her doorstep begging for help.

Something terrible is stirring in a remote logging camp deep in the mountains. Men are dying. And something in the forest is driving them to it.

The deeper she ventures into the mountains, the more Abigail realizes this isn’t just another haunting. An ancient malevolence is spreading through the camp like a sickness, twisting minds into madness. To stop it, she must join forces with a hardened lumberjack, a former lover whose return reopens old wounds, and a young pastor wrestling with faith—and fear.

But the superstitious villagers don’t trust her methods. And if she doesn't work quickly, she may be hanged by the very people she is trying to save.

Eerie, atmospheric, and brimming with supernatural tension, The Suicide Lake delivers a gripping tale of frontier horror, dark magic, and a flawed heroine fighting demons…both supernatural and her own. Download now and lose yourself in a chilling story you won’t soon escape.
