Amazon Synopsis:
Hope wharf is an idyllic town surrounded by crystal blue waters and home to approximately two hundred residents, including best friends Ryan and Zac. There’s only one road in and one road out, and the locals like it that way, happy to cater to the tourists during the holiday season and keen to get their idyllic town back in the off-season. It sounds perfect, but there’s a catch. The last time a local allegedly tried to leave town, they were found on the side of the road with mist coming out of every orifice. Tourists can come and go as they please, but it’s forbidden for locals to leave, and from an early age, children are told about what happens if they try, poor old Tommy Nicholls used as an example. Ryan and Zac are keen to uncover the town’s secrets and arrange a midnight stroll down Mulville Road to test the rumours out for themselves.
Review:
“There’s a quiet sleepy town near you–a great community; idyllic, inviting, and peaceful. Why not make it your next holiday destination? A nice beach, a bit of sightseeing–just be sure not to upset the locals.”
Ryan and Zac have lived in the small beach town of Hope Wharf their whole lives. They are adventurous and curious and sometimes cause trouble. Typical young boys having fun every chance they get. They know the mysterious legend that surrounds the town, but they are curious to see if it is true. They plan to uncover the truth, but quickly learn that there is something sinister and evil lurking beneath the waters, waiting and always watching.
Ominous secrets, small town horror, an evil entity waiting for its fulfillment of a dark promise made by the town that relies on its survival. A coming-of-age novella filled with angst filled moments of dread and doom. Slowly creeping through the shrouding mists of isolation.
Elements of the supernatural and mysterious. A demonic presence. Family ties and the lengths they are willing to go to preserve their home.
Sweet surprises inside this novella with a twisty, unexpected ending!
An atmospheric, spooky, creepy tale, Towse style!
