Kraulaak: A Short Story Collection

Underneath the library, something waits. It takes. It never lets go.

Jessica Martin has spent her life watching her town swallow women whole. It starts small—dreams dismissed, voices ignored, power quietly drained away. But when the local librarian vanishes without a trace, Jessica refuses to let her name be whispered away like all the others.

The deeper she digs, the worse it gets. No one who has ever worked in that library has been seen again. Every attempt to uncover the truth is met with knowing glances, evasive smiles, and doors quietly shutting in her face. And when one of her sources disappears too, Jessica realizes she’s running out of time.

If the town won’t give her answers, she’ll have to take them herself.

But the library is not just a building. It is a mouth. A hunger. A history of women who asked the wrong questions.

Jessica has spent her life being told to stay quiet. But she isn’t leaving without a story.

And this time, she’s the one writing the ending.

Kraulaak is the spine-chilling first book in the Frozen Wasteland series. If you crave unsettling mysteries, smoldering rage, and the terrifying power of women who refuse to disappear, then you won’t be able to put down S.R. Marks’ menacing tale.

Listen to Kraulaak today—before it swallows you whole.
