Book Series The River

Lily used a pair of vice grips to pry her fingernail up, showing him the bleeding gore underneath. “That’s so much better,” she said. “Now I can breathe. It’s easier once you let it out.”

When Steven and Roy agree to help a woman who accidentally animates a collection of antique dolls, they find themselves in a much deeper haunting than either expected. At a house near Deadwood, South Dakota, they uncover a room full of dead people.

Each has a strange metal tube sticking out of one ear.

Deem joins Steven and Roy along with Terrell and a cast of new characters, all trying to unravel the mystery of the corpses and the tubes, exposing a deadly conspiracy within the town. In the process, they confront uncomfortable questions about death:

How long does it really take to die?

At what point are we really gone?

The distant screams raced over the surface of the water.

They weren’t just screams of pain. Something inhuman was happening on the small boat crossing the lake.

It was supposed to be a quiet fishing vacation, but Steven and his father Roy find themselves wrapped up in a deadly mystery that lurked at Spirit Lake long before Mount St. Helens erupted forty years ago. Back then, the eruption ended a string of strange disappearances. Now, more people have gone missing, and the monstrous secret behind the vanishings slowly reveals itself the deeper Steven and Roy dig into the past. Exposing the dormant evil will be only half the battle; they will have to defeat it using methods given by a dead man. It’s a race against time as they use every skill they possess to end the horrors of Spirit Lake.

They encounter ancient ghosts, shipwrecks, and Astoria’s terrifying destruction by fire before they finally discover the cause of the trouble – and find themselves neck-deep in solving it before the entire town is devastated again.
