Ogre Lake

In the year 1928, in the quiet heart of Connecticut, a chilling legend hung over Ogre Lake, a place steeped in ominous tales. Whispers of the malevolent ogre dwelling there, his sinister deeds recounted time and again, sent shivers down spines. Carina Raison, however, dismissed the ominous rumors as nothing more than fabricated tales spun by the lake’s proprietors, a ruse to dissuade intruders. To her, it was the ideal haven, a sanctuary for solitary contemplation on her life’s path, far from prying eyes. Little did she suspect that Ogre Lake held secrets beyond her wildest imagination—perhaps even more peculiar than anyone dared to fathom.
Meanwhile, Cawdron Darois, a former detective seeking refuge from the tumultuous chaos of his native New Orleans, had relocated to a tranquil Connecticut town. Content with humdrum tasks of reuniting lost pets and capturing unfaithful spouses through the lens of his camera, he yearned for a life free from the complexities of his past. But fate had other plans for him, as a persistent ghost in a peculiar house sought his aid. Simultaneously, a seemingly accidental murder investigation began to unravel, entangling him in a web of deceit and wealth among the town’s elite.
“Ogre Lake” is a haunting paranormal suspense narrative, unfolding on the cusp of the Great Depression in Connecticut. Within its pages, suspense intertwines with the fragile blossoms of romance, while a cast of characters awaits to evoke smiles, laughter, and tears in equal measure. Join us on this evocative journey through a bygone era, where secrets lurk, mysteries abound, and the unexpected beckons at every turn.
