THE DEEP DARK PLACE by Sam Hval
Fathers should leave warm memories—not nightmares. But Maggie Prosper has spent her life trying to forget hers: an occult-obsessed man whose absence left deep scars.
Years later, Maggie has finally found peace—until her father dies under strange circumstances at the family’s remote lakeside cabin. When her mother slips into a catatonic state, Maggie and her siblings are drawn back to the place they swore they’d never return.
The cabin is frozen in time, but something feels wrong. Forgotten memories resurface. A strange book. A hidden altar. And a presence in Gold Sun Lake that watches from the dark.
As the siblings uncover their father’s secrets, reality begins to unravel. Time warps. Dreams bleed into waking life. And something ancient stirs beneath the water.
To save her family, Maggie must face the darkness her father awakened—and step into the void he left behind.
