Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks;
and when she saw what she had done, she gave her father
forty-one....
The people of Fall River, Massachusetts, fear me. Perhaps
rightfully so. I remain a suspect in the brutal deaths of my
father and his second wife despite the verdict of innocence
at my trial. With our inheritance, my sister, Emma, and I
have taken up residence in Maplecroft, a mansion near the
sea and far from gossip and scrutiny.
But it is not far enough from the affliction that possessed
my parents. Their characters, their very souls, were
consumed from within by something that left malevolent
entities in their place. It originates from the ocean’s
depths, plaguing the populace with tides of nightmares and
madness.
This evil cannot hide from me. No matter what guise it
assumes, I will be waiting for it. With an axe.
