To find the truth, Charley must unmask the villain before the murderer strikes again.

Leaves are turning red in cottage country, and Charley Scott is putting together a Halloween pulp art installation inspired by local lake monster legends. Life imitates art when Laura, a mercenary newcomer with a controversial agenda to upgrade the dam, claims she was attacked by Charley’s monster.

Hours later, Laura is found dead by dry drowning.

Accident, murder, or something supernatural? Charley’s Shudder Pulp exhibit is meant to be immersive, but could she truly have summoned a beast from beneath the waves?

Charley and chocolatier Matt Thorn team up to investigate, but it’ll take more than seafoam toffee to bait this beast. To discern the truth among myths, Charley will have to risk it all to look the monster in the eye.
