A book cover for a story yet to be written about mysterious events happening at the edge of a Great Lake. Everything was calm along the shoreline, barely any sounds heard. Day was slowly ending, night taking over. Then, just the faintest of sounds ...

Lake Erie is one of the Great Lakes and is named after a Native American tribe that lived on its southern shore. Most of the water flows into Lake Erie from the Detroit River. The outflow from the lake creates another wonder, the Niagara River. The western basin of Lake Erie is the home for about 26 islands, depending on current water levels. Lake Erie also provides for a regional phenomenon - lake effect snow that makes Buffalo, NY infamous for its winter storms.
