Medillia’s Lament isn’t the only folklore Applewood, Maine is known for. The area known as the Dark Waters is one of the island’s oldest, yet least talked about legends. The Native Americans believe it is where the Evil Spirit dwells, and it is said that only a special and gifted person can see it. In the spring of 1981, Hope Simmons was that person. The Dark Waters is the highly anticipated follow up to Medillia’s Lament and serves as the perfect bridge to what will eventually be the final book of the trilogy. Sometimes you need to revisit the past to understand the future.
