Description
Something monstrous is prowling in the waters of Lake Despondent. Something so fearsome it can turn human flesh into stone. Something so hideous you might just want to pack an extra pair of undies or some top-quality detergent.
But, do not fear, our three Urban Legend Hunters are here. Okay, you might still want to fear a little bit. Why? Well, they’re not great. But they do make a good effort.
Join Samantha Small, Bad Boris, and Jeremy Jubaya in a bone-chilling, pulse-racing, skin-prickling mysterious adventure.
