To Those Willing to Drown

Mark Matthews
4.06/5 (41 ratings)
To save her daughter's soul, a grieving mother must battle a sinister pastor who feeds off the cremains of the dead and haunts a lake community.

"This is goddamn wonderful. It's both beautiful and horrible."—Julie Hutchings, author of The Harpy

When Jewel Jordan dies from cancer, her father's wish is to scatter the ashes inside their beloved Torch Lake. But after the grieving mother hears her daughter's voice coming from inside the urn, how can she let the ashes go? Especially after a mysterious pastor begs her to keep them and promises to reunite her with her daughter's spirit. Who should she listen to? Even creatures from the lake whisper to her at night, pleading for the remains of her daughter. Who can she trust? Nobody knows the truth and the bargain she made that led to her daughter's death. Now she has to fight to save her child's soul, and Torch Lake holds the answers. But the lake is cold, the truth is deep, and it will take the ultimate sacrifice, for...the Lake Speaks Most Honestly to Those Willing to Drown.

"Deep, disturbing, and beautifully rendered."
—Christa Carmen, Bram Stoker Award winning author of The Daughters of Block Island

"An epic tale of pain, love, grief, and regret."
—Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads

"Matthews is the reigning king of modern psychological horror."
—Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin

"Matthews is a damn good writer, and make no mistake, he will hurt you."
—Jack Ketchum, Bram Stoker Award winning author of The Girl Next Door
