Through Dry Places by D.H. Gutierrez An old Spanish mission lies beneath the surface of a serene Texas lake, its secrets hidden for decades. The receding waters of a drought expose its ruins and it becomes the source of inspiration for Matthew, an urban explorer struggling to maintain his once-popular video channel. Determined to make it his next big video, Matthew sets out to uncover the mystery surrounding San Lazaro. But as he delves deeper into the decrepit halls and forgotten rooms, he finds himself face-to-face with his own fears.

Cover: Adequately represents the story Content Warnings: zombies, violence Book focuses on a cryptid youtuber that plans to film a video about an abandoned town in rural Texas after a drought unearthed the town. Book isn't too spooky and focuses more on the Mexican folklore than zombie scares. I liked it. |
