In the backwoods of Lagoon County, Indiana, family secrets run as deep as the swamp.
Duncan Trembley has spent his life protecting his family's moonshine operation and the legacy built by generations of Trembleys. In this small Midwestern town, loyalty is currency, old grudges never die, and everyone knows there are places in the woods better left alone.
Then something dark awakens in the Still.
When a malevolent force possesses someone Duncan loves, strange events begin to spread through the once idyllic small town. Whispers of restless spirits, forgotten tragedies, and long-buried sins turn everyday life into a waking nightmare. What begins as a family crisis soon becomes a chilling supernatural mystery, forcing Duncan to confront an evil that has been waiting in the shadows for decades.
As the danger grows, Duncan finds himself trapped between his obligations to his family and a dark secret that threatens the entire town. To save the people he loves, he must descend into a world of ghost stories, local folklore, and occult horrors where the past refuses to stay buried.
Dead Still is the first novel in The Black Springs Saga, an atmospheric blend of paranormal mystery, supernatural thriller, small-town horror, rural noir, Midwestern gothic, and suspense mystery. Filled with family secrets, eerie folklore, supernatural suspense, and creeping dread, it is a haunting tale of loyalty, legacy, and the darkness waiting just beyond the tree line.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven mysteries, atmospheric horror, and dark supernatural fiction where every secret has a price and some evils never truly die.
