A forgotten horror rises from the water

A morning run brings Avery to a strange forest pond—and into contact with something Crook’s Falls has tried to forget. As black water appears in unsettling forms and people begin to disappear, the story connects Avery’s experience of the haunting with the town’s buried history and the whispers she has heard from her Kanien’k… community. Cheryl Isaacs’s young adult horror debut brings small-town mystery together with monsters and secrets, leaving the source of the danger closely tied to what the town has kept submerged.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror
  • Readers who enjoy small-town mysteries involving monsters and disappearances
  • Readers interested in Indigenous authors and perspectives, as identified in the source

Book overview

An American Indian Youth Literature Award Honoree

In her stunning debut, Cheryl Isaacs (Mohawk) pulls the reader into an unsettling tale of monsters, mystery, and secrets that refuse to stay submerged.

When small-town athlete Avery's morning run leads her to a strange pond in the middle of the forest, she awakens a horror the townspeople of Crook's Falls have long forgotten.

The black water has been waiting. Watching. Hungry for the souls it needs to survive.

Avery can smell the water, see it flooding everywhere; she thinks she's losing her mind. And as the black water haunts Avery--taking a new form each time--people in town begin to go missing.

Though Avery had heard whispers of monsters from her Kanien'k
