A Double Dose of White Creek Horror!
by Brent Abell
Home, Sweet, Horror
At a recent convention, I was asked about White Creek. Why would I create a town instead of using a place familiar to readers? The answer is quite simple, I don’t want the town to be a place people know in reality. It isn’t a matter of making sure details are correct, but I want the readers to explore a new place besides the characters. I want everyone to go into the darkness together to learn about the horrors in the town. They need to go on the ride together without knowing when and where things have happened or may happen. I liked the idea of having a blank slate for me to create a fresh place and for everyone else to follow down the horrific rabbit hole White Creek has become along with me. .
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of places based in my hometown. Something about certain locations will ring true instead of being fictional. White Creek is also set in Indiana. Unlike Evansville, in the southern part of the state, White Creek is hidden along the backroads of northern Indiana on Lake Michigan. I felt merging the new location with some familiar places would create a warm and welcoming, but foreboding atmosphere.

Readers have found a new home in White Creek, and I hope they stay forever and ever…
Dragonflies
Sheriff Frank Hill knows about the evil simmering beneath the surface of White Creek. He’s battled it before, and it cost him dearly. Once again, he must step up to do the job he’s tried to run from for a lifetime.

Ten years ago, Eric Dean survived his brush with death. Taken by a killer and saved by a miracle, the experience left his world in shambles, and his mind infested with visions of dragonflies. Eric hasn’t seen the dragonflies in years, but as a new horror threatens the town, the visions have returned. Drawn back to White Creek to team up with the Sheriff and his partner, Chris, will they be able to overcome the odds and fight the evil brewing there? Or is the threat simply too much for them to handle this time?
.
One thing is certain, White Creek is no longer the safe place the residents believe it to be.
