161 People Vanished From One Bayou Settlement in a Single Night, and the Food Was Still Warm

In 1888 a deputy walked into a bayou settlement of 161 people and found the fires still burning, the food still warm, and nobody there. Not one boat was missing. Under every third house there was a shaft. An original work of folk horror fiction. Pellerain Landing, the Vermillard Basin and everyone in this story are invented.
