A legendary monster is now a novel
Welcome to a new frightmare!
Based on the real-life Cree legend in Cold Lake, Alberta, The Kinosoo is Book 2 of my Dark Shapes, Dark Shadows series. It’s a rather creepy and disturbing twist on a legend that’s been around for decades. Like Nessie in Loch Ness, there have been reported sightings of this mysterious sea monster over the years, drawing thousands of visitors to the area in hopes of seeing—or even catching—this elusive, gigantic, underwater beast. There’s even been theories that the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) near Cold Lake covered up an accident when one of its sea planes was thought to have been struck in the water by … something … during an emergency landing on Cold Lake. Hmmmm … sounds fishy to me.
Real legend. Real monster. Real nightmare.
Recently widowed with two young children, Joel Carter uproots his family and returns to his quiet hometown of Cold Lake to start over. But his new country life in the Northern Alberta wilderness isn’t the breath of fresh air that it should be.
The dreary woods behind his home are eerily silent, not a bird or an animal in sight; the knobby trees are diseased, twisted, and ugly. And when he encounters a dark, foul-smelling pond that has seemingly appeared out of nowhere, a freak accident leaves him possessed by the mysterious powers of an impossible sea monster—what he had always believed was just an old Cree legend.
He soon discovers that the “Kinosoo” is not only real, but far more menacing than the creature of lore—and far more terrifying than he could ever imagine: He’s become a deadly pawn to its will, a will fueled by insatiable hunger. And now that it has him, no one is safe from its lust for live meat … not even his children.
If you’re a fan of legendary creatures like the Loch Ness Monster—and grisly tales of underwater nightmares you’d not like to meet—you’ll love The Kinosoo ... a chilling twist on the real-life legend of Cold Lake, Alberta’s monster of the deep.
