The Hag Jean Marie Bauhaus book cover

Michael Latimer is living the good life. He’s head of his university’s English department, he has a great marriage to a beautiful wife, an assistant who makes him look good at work… What more could he ask for? But when one night he finds himself immobile in his own bed as terrifying visions taunt and torture him, his life begins to crumble–along with his sanity.

Rational man that he is, Michael gladly seizes on a diagnosis of sleep paralysis–a sensible, scientific-sounding name for the ghastly night visits that plague him. But as he continues to grapple with his condition, his research takes him down paranormal rabbit holes that make him question everything he knows about the nature of the world, and evil… and Kathy, his wife.

Kathy is worried about her husband. He’s been having trouble sleeping, and ever since it started, he’s become more cold and withdrawn, even hostile. She hopes spring break at her parents’ remote cabin in the Ozarks will let him get the rest he needs to return to his easy-going, lovable self.

But when his coldness toward her only intensifies once they’re at the cabin, she can’t resist the impulse to check his phone, convinced he’s having an affair. What she finds instead is far more disturbing, and is only the beginning of Kathy’s night of sheer terror.

Terror at Lake Eucha by Jean Marie Bauhaus - atmospheric Lovecraftian horror

Something lingers in the woods of Lake Eucha… something that refuses to be forgotten.

A year following her brother’s disappearance, Melanie Fisher is determined to get answers. Her quest takes her to the site of an abandoned amusement park, where she finds a lost video camera containing evidence that her brother was losing his mind.

She begins to question her own sanity when memories surface of childhood visits to the lakeside amusement park that occurred long after the park was destroyed by fire. An online search tells her she’s not the only one with such impossible memories.

Common sense–and her concerned boyfriend–tell her to leave it to the authorities. But Melanie’s own instincts tell her that giving in to the madness and opening herself up to the forces drawing her back to Lake Eucha may be the only way to get the answers she seeks, along with any hope of saving her brother.

Fan of atmospheric horror will love this unsettling tale inspired by H.P Lovecraft, Marble Hornets and creepypasta.
