Some places never let go of you.

Nestled along the shores of Clam Lake, Waadizi is the kind of Northern Michigan town people pass through without a second thought. There is a diner, a post office, a handful of cabins, and a single flashing yellow light. It is also a town with a habit of holding on to its secrets.

When Detroit reporter Ben Harrington returns to Waadizi after years away, he finds himself drawn back into a place he thought he had left behind forever. Old memories resurface. Long-buried questions demand answers. And beneath the town's quiet surface, something waits.

Part mystery, part folk horror, and part love letter to the small towns of Northern Michigan, Welcome to Waadizi, Michigan weaves together a series of interconnected stories that reveal the people, places, and secrets hidden beneath the waters of Clam Lake. Because every town has a history. Some are simply buried deeper than others.

Praise for Welcome to Waadizi, Michigan!

"The atmosphere is thick, the mystery compelling, and the town itself feels hauntingly real."

— Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club
