I used to feel so simple and free When you remained so close to me You've now left me with memories Memories that's turned into reveries * * * * * * * When Wolf meets her lover after about ten years of otherworldly separation, she does not seem quite surprised to find herself telling each and every one of the stories of their adventures together all over again, to recover precious old memories of gold and hemlock that had been hopelessly forgotten within just fleeting moments when something rather unfortunate had happened earlier. Now, the only question both these lovers have, deep down within each of their own souls, is that is it really possible for those lost reveries to be recovered from just storytelling? Yes, it's absolutely possible...

When a group of college friends go on a trip to a Lake house, they expect a week to remember. When eerie things occur, they begin to feel as though they are being watched. When a member of their group goes missing, it is up to Elettra to discover what is going on. The only problem is that in order to find their missing friend, they must also find every town resident that had vanished over night.

Cara’s mother has disappeared. Her father isn’t talking about it. Her big brother Max is hiding behind his iPod, and her genius little brother Jackson is busy studying the creatures he collects from the beach. But when a watery specter begins to haunt the family’s Cape Cod home, Cara and her brothers realize that their scientist mother may not be who they thought she was—and that the world has much stranger, much older inhabitants than they had imagined. With help from Cara’s best friend Hayley, the three embark on a quest that will lead them from the Cape’s hidden, ancient places to a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. They’re soon on the front lines of an ancient battle between good and evil, with the terrifying “pouring man” close on their heels.
