Book excerpt: 1836. Father Gyorj, a defrocked, heretical priest leads his ragtag band of followers across the Atlantic to settle in the Wisconsin Territory, away from prying eyes. A land of dense forests and vast lakes, the settlers arrive in summer unprepared for their first winter. Nearly driven to madness by unrelenting cold and deprivation, what at first seemed like providence turns into a cast of strange spirits: a beast prowling at the edges of the lakeshore settlement, a glowing, underwater city of ghosts, and a shark in the water that may or may not be a hallucination of the growing instability within the isolated settlement. Nearly a century later, the local cast of spirits reappears during Prohibition-era Wisconsin...with Father Gyorj now among them. Told at two pivotal points in history a century apart, Fire under Water is not simply a ghost story, but re-imagines what might have happened when an old world meets a new, when spirit worlds collide, when the line between myth and reality blurs, and where nature and ghosts have a voice. Fire Under Water is an unforgettable Gothic novella of supernatural and occult horror that can be read in a single sitting on a stormy night.
