When unwitting miners dig into its tomb, only Kyle - Stillwater's prodigal son - and paranormal investigator Maya stand between humanity and Hell. Time is short and evil runs deep in... STIILL WATER "In STILL WATER, Justin R. Macumber brings all the vivid Americana of Stephen King and all the creeping evil menace of Lovecraft, to a claustrophobic tale of horror lurking in the deep parts of the world. The lush prose pulls you in and carries you along at a mounting pace until a confrontation so bloody, you can feel the claws raking you." -Kane Gilmour, Bestselling Author of RAGNAROK and THE CRYPT OF DRACULA "You'll want to leave the light on long after you've turned the final page of this dark thriller! " -Jeremy Bishop, author of REFUGE. "Justin Macumber excels in the dark. STILL WATER will trap you and never let go." -Edward Lorn, author of CRUELTY "Macumber's Stillwater marries Lovecraftian-dread with a characterdriven thrill-ride that will leave you shivering with fear." -Paul E Cooley, author of GARAAGA'S CHILDREN.

There is a visceral tension to this book that starts at page one and doesn't let up until the end of the story. The plot focuses on a force that is overwhelmingly dark and malevolent, but is offset by strong characters who manage to keep hope alive in even the most desperate of circumstances. Justin Macumber's writing style is perfect for this type of story because he manages to immerse the reader in the horror that is the town of Stillwater. You come to understand the place and its people, what fuels and drives them, even at it tears the town apart.
What results is a very effective horror novel that is incredibly difficult to put down.
