An 85-page, 90-minute Lake Gaston mystery - a quick read for the dock, not your whole vacation. Some places don't want to be disturbed. Long before Lake Gaston covered the valley, six hunters made camp beside a small mound on the Roanoke River. On the second night, something happened on that mound. By dawn, they were gone. No footprints. No fire. Only the mound, silent. 1961 - The Roanoke River valley is being cleared for what will become Lake Gaston.
Construction worker Jack Harris is pushing dirt when a small, overgrown mound stops his bulldozer cold every time he approaches it. Then two local boys are chased off the mound by a small man in buckskins the kids call Grey Wolf. Jack calls his friend Elliott Thompson, a local historian from South Hill, to help figure out what the mound is and why it seems to want to be left alone. What they learn suggests some ground is meant to stay protected - and something ancient is still guarding what lies beneath. The Fire That Lies Beneath is Book 1 of the Lake Gaston Short Story Series - a short, atmospheric, supernatural mystery. An original story set in real Virginia and North Carolina places. From Thompson Story Studio - where real regional history meets imagined mystery. Book 2: The Captain's Ledger
