Owens' Lake has a monster, the "Nietzsche Anathema" a curse on the lake and all who dare to near it. 

This short novella follows an array of characters as they interact with the cursed lake and it's monster: Leilani a teenage runaway, Maddox the P.I investigating the disappearance of prominent land owner Henry Owens, Francis the elderly veteran guarding his family's lake and it's curse, and Quincy a local boy who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

This novella was an experience, like reading a B-movie horror flick where the characters are sleezy and cursing left and right. It Came From The Lake was a quick and fun read reminiscent of something like the show 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark' or 'The Haunting Hour' but for adults. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Alien Agenda Publishing, and author Glenn Rolfe for allowing me access to an ARC of this novella.
