Description

Don't let the water pull you under...

It’s been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife, Claire, in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, he decides to take them on a roadtrip through the Appalachians, where he has fond memories of the past. But soon into their travel, what was supposed to be a quick pit stop quickly transforms into a nightmare, when an armed man and a companion stumble into the diner, ranting about a mysterious, and deadly “living water” that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin, of a life-sucking, murderous entity, seems to the diners to be the rantings of a drunken lunatic, but soon they find themselves hostages to both the gunman and the inexplicably terrifying body of water. Because there's something wrong with this water, and it has no mercy.

Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying entity that seeks only to swallow every living thing in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape with increasing threats coming from inside and out. Glen, Lauren and the others, must face down their worst fears to reconcile their past or risk losing everything.

A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

Advance Praise

"In Body of Water, Adam Godfrey traps you inside a compulsive, claustrophobic tale that tackles grief and the impossible choices we can be forced to make for family. It’s also the best reason to stay out of the water since Jaws." —Tony Wirt, bestselling author of Pike Island and Just Stay Away

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...the water gets into you. Adam Godfrey goes for the guts with Body of Water—then the heart—and floods them all, every last chamber." — Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

"Adam Godfrey’s Body of Water grips like a vise. Mystery piles on mystery. Horrors upon horrors. When you think the story is going one way, it veers another, keeping you unsettled and unable to put the story down. Written with an aching level of sympathy and pathos, while tackling what it means to survive trauma and grief, this is far more than a simple tale of watery monsters in the night. It is tour-de-force about what it means to be human in the face of tragedy." —James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Arkangel

"A terrifying look at what happens when a giver of life becomes a harbinger of death. Every drop is a threat, every ripple a death knell. You'll never look at water the same again." —Daniel G. Miller, USA Today bestselling author of The Orphanage by the Lake

""In Body of Water, Adam Godfrey creates a terrifying, claustrophobic and unique horror ... and then throws you in at the deep end. Painfully tense, occasionally gruesome, it also plucks the heart strings. Brilliant!" —Tim Lebbon, author of Secret Lives of The Dead
