Founded in 1865, it had a number of bizarre happenings until it was finally covered over by Lake Mead. It was once a pious Mormon settlement, the a wild west outlaw Mecca, then a sleepy little town that was doomed by the name of progress and need for water for Las Vegas.
That much is all absolutely true.
I have even taken a trip through the ruins of the Moapa valley and seen some the sights...
Perhaps some of the rest gets a little foggy on reality, or does it?
I had a lot of fun playing around with this one, I really got into ghost stories over the summer and the idea of finding lost terrible documentation fascinates me - so I found some to tell you about. ;)
Couched as if it is non-fiction I even went so far as to have a smattering of footnotes detailing real history along with the fiction. It was great fun and I hope makes for some creepy October readings.
Thank and check it out!

Got it! I love ghost stories. And I love that picture of the building half submerged. Such beautiful art deco architecture. I can almost see a supervillain or the survivor of an apocalypse making that their fortress.
Good luck with this! I grabbed the Kindle version.
Is it just me, or doe that red clay lizard have a similarity to Tsathoggua?
Great title and cover. Looks creepy indeed.
Thanks Keith.
