Corpse Creek: A Bleak Haven Novel - Paperback

by Vincent Ralph (Author)

Welcome to Bleak Haven: The town you won't (or can't!) leave...

The next eerie novel in the Bleak Haven series, in Vincent Ralph's signature, terrifying style!

In 2008, Ethan's older brother drowned in Bleak Haven's cursed creek. While the coroner ruled out foul play, Ethan has always suspected that there's more to the story.

Four years later, 18-year-old Ethan chooses the anniversary of the tragedy to finally return to the creek, attempting to gain the closure that has always eluded him.

What starts as a healing process aided by his loyal friends turns sinister when something emerges from the shadows: a figure that looks unnervingly like Ethan's dead brother, begging for a sacrifice that could change everything.

As Ethan digs deeper into the creek's dark history, he discovers that someone did return when all seemed lost. Maybe they were the 'miracle' child the news reports painted them as. Or perhaps they only came back because someone took their place.

If that's true, Ethan really could bring his lost brother home. But how far is he willing to go...and at what cost?
