A drought has pulled Bracken Reservoir away from the shore-and uncovered a building that was never supposed to exist.
County records say the Intake House was demolished before the reservoir was filled. But it stands exposed among old roads and forgotten foundations, waiting beneath twenty-one years of lies.
Audra Venn trusts pressure readings, service maps, and facts that can be measured and tested. Then black water runs through shut-off lines. Children's belongings rise from drains. And a voice in the pipes warns her not to open the lower valve.
The last person sent near that valve was Audra's father.
He never came home.
Now Audra and her district crew must trace buried pipelines, altered records, and the remains of Sallow Creek-a drowned settlement erased from the official story. The deeper they dig, the harder it becomes to separate the haunting from the system built to conceal it.
The Intake House is holding more than water. It is holding names, grief, and the truth about everyone left below.
Some places stay buried because they are haunted.
Some stay buried because the water was meant to keep them quiet.
The Intake House is Book Six in The Hollow Archive, a connected psychological supernatural horror series about damaged places, buried grief, and the things that return when pressure finally breaks through.
