The Drowned Frequency

They had been speaking beneath the ocean for eleven years.
No one heard them until the storm tore the listening cable open.

At 3:16 in the morning, a dead Navy receiver comes to life in the communications room of Harrow Bay, Alaska.

Ruth Calder is alone when the voice emerges from the static.

It belongs to her nine-year-old son, Owen.

The same son who drowned eleven years ago.

By sunrise, Ruth isn't the only one hearing the dead. Phones ring with voices from empty graves. Public-address systems speak with the voices of lost husbands, daughters, mothers, and brothers. Beneath the harbor, pale figures stand motionless on the seafloor, waiting for the lighthouse beam to pass.

And they all want the same thing.

Turn off the lights.

When a federal team arrives already knowing the impossible frequency, Ruth realizes Harrow Bay has stumbled into something that was never meant to be heard. Buried beneath an abandoned Cold War listening station is a secret connected to decades of drowned voices—and something in the dark has learned how to use them.

But Ruth has only one question that matters:

Is Owen really calling her home… or has something beneath the water learned exactly what a grieving mother needs to hear?

As the voices spread and the people of Harrow Bay begin answering them, Ruth must choose between the son she has mourned for eleven years and a town being drawn, one familiar voice at a time, toward the sea.

The Drowned Frequency is Book Two of the Cold Frequencies series—a chilling supernatural science-fiction horror novella about grief, memory, identity, and the terrible things that can happen when the dead finally answer back.
