There are strange goings on at the idyllic Aberwillow Loch Retreat. People are going missing. They come from all over the country to soak in the beauty of the land and sometimes, to sample the abundant Liberty Caps.

When Greg and Steph Pullman arrive at the retreat for a much needed break away from the bustle of their busy lives, they are met by an old friend and owner of Aberwillow Loch Retreat, Arthur Taggart and they settle for a relaxing week in the country. But not all is as it seems. Beneath Aberwillow Loch, something is rising to the surface; something so terrifying it will take your breath away.

Thieves of Sigh: an old school pulp horror novelette by Zach Black.
