Book excerpt: In the quiet town of Bayou Vista, Louisiana, Devil’s Marsh hides more than dark waters—it harbors something ancient, something hungry. When Izzy moves into her dream home on the Marsh’s edge, she has no idea the nightmare that lurks beneath. Strange events—phantom footsteps, eerie whispers, her health mysteriously fading—begin to unravel her reality. Desperate, she turns to Micky Vermooch, the owner of Micky’s Magical Things, for help. The cursed LaBlanc family bound an evil force to the Marsh. Now, that evil is stalking Izzy, feeding on her fear. The Marsh isn’t just haunted—it’s hunting her. Some places are born evil. Devil’s Marsh doesn’t just want her soul—it wants to keep it.
