Salvage
ByPublisher Description
A ghost story
Something is Lurking Under the Lake…
When Owen Saddler's little sister mysteriously drowns, Owen is determined to uncover the circumstances by following in her footsteps, even if it means diving into the murky—some would say haunted—waters of Chapel Lake.
Thirty years earlier, the town of Peace Falls had been flooded to build a hydroelectric dam, and its ruins remain below the surface of Chapel Lake. The strange disappearance of the town Pastor, along with many of the parishioners, still haunts the citizens of Chapel Lake. But does the church haunt the lake itself? Is Owen really seeing ghosts… or has he descended into the depths of madness?
SALVAGE is the debut horror novel of author Duncan Ralston (GRISTLE & BONE). A darkly disturbing story of depression, religious fanaticism, and the afterlife, SALVAGE seeks to illuminate the evil within us all.

“I want to start by thanking Joe Hemple for providing an audio code for this book. Duncan Ralston has quickly become a must-buy author for me, and Salvage is yet another example of why his work stands out in the indie horror scene. While I still have a backlog of his books to get through, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to dive into this one—and I’m glad I did.
Owen has always feared water, and after losing his sister to a mysterious drowning in a small town where he was born, his worst nightmares become reality. But something about her death doesn’t add up. As Owen delves into the mystery surrounding the lake, he is forced to confront his deepest fears and uncover the truth lurking beneath the surface.
Blending mystery, supernatural horror, and themes of grief, Salvage is a gripping and unsettling read for any horror fan. Ralson’s writing is masterfully detailed, drawing readers into an atmosphere thick with tension and dread. He has a knack for pacing, gradually building suspense before delivering on every eerie promise he sets up.
The audiobook narration by Sean Walpole was strong, bringing the story and characters to life with emotion and intensity. The only minor drawback was that some of the character voices sounded similar, which made it difficult at times to distinguish between them. However, this may be more of a personal preference than a flaw in the performance.
Overall, Salvage is a chilling and well-executed horror novel that translates effectively into audiobook format. If you enjoy dark, immersive stories with a supernatural edge, this is one you won’t want to miss.”
