Return to Waadizi, Michigan: A Novel of the Waadizi Cycle

"The novel is a masterpiece of small-town horror and character driven supernatural suspense. ... It grabs you, lightly at first, but it won't let go, its hold tighter and tighter, suffocating and strangling, then terrifying. ... You won't be able to put it down." - Charles Cutter, Author of the Best-Selling Burr Lafayette SeriesSomething beneath Waadizi is waking up. When Detroit Free Press journalist Ben Harrington returned to northern Michigan to settle his mother's affairs, he hoped to keep his visit brief and leave the town behind once and for all. Instead, he finds himself pulled deeper into the darkness surrounding Clam Lake and the quiet community that raised him.The church by the lake stands abandoned, the graves are not as silent as they should be, and the people of Waadizi have spent generations protecting secrets they no longer fully understand. As old wounds reopen and buried truths begin to surface, Ben, local Sheriff Julie Kent-fueled by an ever-present can of Vernors-and a mysterious outsider named Byron uncover evidence that the town's corruption reaches far deeper than disappearances and local superstition. Something ancient has rooted itself beneath Waadizi, feeding on silence, fear, and generations of compromise.
