A half feral drifter raised in the shadow of Storm Mountain, Carl has spent years roaming broken backwoods towns hunting the uncanny creatures of folklore. When the deadly Dogman tears into a group of campers, Carl expects just another job and maybe a strange new specimen for his collection.
Instead he discovers something far worse.
A sickness is spreading through the waterways of West by God. Rivers choke with dead fish. Creatures of the hills grow wild with rage. Something in the water is turning the wilderness itself mad.
As the poison spreads across the mountains, Carl finds the same darkness creeping into his own mind. If he cannot stop it soon, the madness swallowing the forests will swallow him too.
To survive, Carl must rely on uneasy allies, descend into ancient cave systems buried beneath the Appalachians, and confront truths about the world he was never meant to learn. Because whatever is poisoning the water is far more dangerous than any cryptid Carl has ever hunted.
If you like Appalachian horror, haunted hollers, and backwoods monsters, Black Water is one ride you don't want to miss.
