Bait  

A Novella


Deep in the marshlands of Florida, three teenagers stumble upon a terrifying discovery just a bike ride away from their homes.


Hanging out with Freddy was always exciting for Val and her younger brother Shane. As the resident troublemaker of their trailer park, Freddy oozed bad ideas that seemed great at the time. His distractions were just what the siblings needed after the sudden disappearance of their father six months ago.


On their way home from an afternoon spent roasting fire ant mounds in the marsh, the trio unearth a grotesque creature slinking along the wetlands. Their curiosity outweighs their fear as Freddy decides to take the creature home, where they are horrified to learn it has an appetite for warm-blooded animals.


Suspecting a link between the mysterious creature and a lone, strangely smelling RV in their trailer park, Val and her friends venture out to investigate. What they find sends them running for their lives.


But when Val and Shane’s deadbeat uncle brings trouble to their doorstep, they wonder if their grisly discovery could be used to their advantage.


What did the trio find hiding in the trailer at the edge of the swamp?

How could it help Val and her family when their lives are in danger?

They find her birthplace is now a ghost town. The cavernous old mine, dormant… or so it seems.
