Hide In The Backroom

The Altar in the Mist

After a bitter divorce, Ellie Brooks moves to the isolated town of Graven with her nine-year-old son, Joey, hoping to start fresh. But their new home, perched on the edge of the mysterious Silent Lake, offers little comfort. The townsfolk are cold and distant, their eyes shadowed by something more than mere suspicion. And then there’s the lake—its misty surface rippling with whispers that only Joey seems to hear. As Ellie struggles to fit into the town, Joey’s behavior grows increasingly strange. He’s drawn to the lake, speaking of a voice in the fog that calls to him, promising answers to questions he cannot yet articulate. Desperate to protect her son, Ellie begins to unravel Graven’s dark history. What she uncovers chills her to the bone: a century-old pact to feed the lake’s insatiable hunger, a cursed altar hidden deep within the mist, and a malevolent force that preys on the town’s fears and guilt. The fog begins to thicken, creeping through the streets and into their lives. The townspeople, terrified of breaking their pact, turn against Ellie and Joey, seeing them as the next sacrifices to the lake. Trapped in a town that has surrendered to its own nightmares, Ellie must confront the horrors of her past and the terrors in the mist to save her son—and herself. But the lake does not give up its prey so easily. "The Altar in the Mist" is a chilling tale of fear, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Weaving supernatural terror with deeply human emotions, it explores how far we are willing to go to protect the ones we love—and what it costs to confront the monsters both outside and within.
