A curse dating back to the ancient Indians and early pioneer explorers...The Hookman is a mythical swamp creature with a very unique power. When he hooks people, they don't just simply die. Anyone who encounters The Hookman vanishes completely, so no trace of their life is left. Anything they've ever owned, anything they've ever written, anything they've ever done, disappears and no one knows they've ever existed. Not even their own parents...Zachary Hartman is a popular boy in the sixth grade. Even though he is a year older than Lynn, they become fast friends when he rescues her from being eaten by a huge snapping turtle. Yet Lynn is unable to save him when The Hookman emerges from the water and scratches Zachary's arm. The wound is far more serious than it appears. Zachary keeps vanishing from sight against his will. He and Lynn are in a race against time to confront The Hookman and kill him before Zachary is gone and forgotten completely...Debut novella 162pgs, 30,000 words3X published SNM Mag Author
