Spooky Lakes takes readers on a deep dive into twenty-five unusual lakes scattered across the globe, from a Tanzanian lake so caustic it can mummify wildlife to a Venezuelan bay lit by an almost constant natural lightning storm. Geo Rutherford, the TikTok star and educator behind the viral "Spooky Lake Month" series, pairs extensively researched facts with vivid, full-color watercolor illustrations that make each entry feel like its own eerie postcard.

Spooky Rivers is the companion volume, following the winding, restless paths of twenty-five mysterious rivers around the world. Rutherford digs into natural phenomena, scientific oddities, historical events, and environmental disasters tied to these waterways, along with the myths and legends that have grown up around them over centuries. From destructive floods to submerged lost cities, the book shows how rivers have shaped civilizations while remaining some of Earth's most unpredictable forces. Together, the two titles form a cohesive "Haunted Hydrology" reading experience for anyone fascinated by the natural world's stranger corners, whether they are working through a personal reading list, building a home library, or looking for an engaging nonfiction gift.
