"The initial murders are shocking, and the presence of an unknown entity lurking under a popular park is wonderfully disturbing." "Hints of a promising Hitchcock-ian thriller." ~ Kirkus Reviews
Back in spring of 1964 eight-year-old Tommy McGrath had drowned in one of the drainpipes that ran under the Esker. Some folks say it was murder; I guess that is always up to debate.
Eleven years later, tragedy had struck again at the Esker: ten-year-old Adam Bertholdi disappearing in front of thirty parents at kids little league baseball game at Julia Road Park. While playing right field, Adam bent down in the high grass in deep right field to retrieve a baseball. The child never stood up from the high grass. Not even a scream to suggest foul play just gone. All signs of the missing child led to the storm drains under the Esker.
A search of the massive storm drains under the Esker by Park Ranger Ryan Gallagher and Firefighter Paul Tobin led to an attack in the drains by some sort of creature. The Park Ranger was injured but was all right after the attack by fighting back in the darkness of the storm drains with something that he could only describe as something very large covered in seaweed.

The hectic, sad, ever so funny, you must be kidding me life of a waiter and the day-to-day life of survival in the restaurant industry. This book will teach a guest how to eat for free with just a few key phrases. Truly understand what your waitstaff is thinking about you as they approach your table and through-out your meal.
Waitstaff are the true first responders of the restaurant industry. We must be at your table no matter what is happening in our life’s. Heck we must be at your table even if something is happening on the planet. I like to call this “You’re kidding me right moment”
Even in the mist of a global cataclysm I do not even bother calling work as I know the answer will always be “Yes, get in here you need to work.” It can be raining brick and fireballs outside the restaurant. Hoards of the living dead can be running the streets killing at will. A nuclear holocaust of biblical proportion can be imminently poised to strike the city where this restaurant is located. I still need to show up to work today in full uniform ready to work.
