Description

A family's relocation looked like a chance to relax and regroup—but as they settle into their new home, teenage Kimmie Barnes’ special senses make her the target of something primordial, evil, and utterly malign.

Darkness…

Golden Oaks, California is a sleepy town on the shores of Oro Lake, and the residents have no idea what horrors lurk below the glittering waters.

Beneath the waves…

One by one, as people begin to disappear, the once quiet town is soon in the grips of a waking nightmare. An unimaginable horror consuming everything before it.

Hungry…

All while echoes of an ancient evil spread out like malignant spider webs, like dead hands reaching, grasping…

SEETHING…

Advance Praise

“Midsummer meets The Mist in The Seething, a slow-burn tale of
creeping terror and a pressure cooker of a novel from horror’s
rising star Ben Monroe. Not your usual summer vacation by the
lake, The Seething is irresistibly ominous.”
—Lee Murray, four-time Bram Stoker Award®-winner and
author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

Monroe has managed to seamlessly intertwine a number of
beloved horror tropes into a complex, page-turning…story that
takes place in an eerie mountain town surrounded by a mysterious
lake. Definitely worth a read if you like sitting around a campfire
and sharing spooky stories.
—Francesca Maria, author of They Hide: Short Stories to Tell in the
Dark
