Overview

In the forgotten town of Canebrulay, Louisiana, where sugarcane fields whisper secrets and the river never sleeps, thirteen-year-old Satchel Orgeron is about to uncover truths darker than the bayou at midnight. After moving south to live with his grandparents, Satchel meets a strange boy named Prival who appears and vanishes like smoke. Prival sees things no one else does. When Bella, the mysterious daughter of a shamanic family from Texas, arrives with the same terrifying visions, Satchel finds himself drawn into a web of supernatural encounters and buried town secrets, confronting a chilling legacy of betrayal, sacrifice, and the unseen forces that have stalked Canebrulay for generations. But as Satchel edges closer to the truth, he begins to wonder: what if the real monsters aren't the ones hiding in the cane fields? The Boy by the River is a Southern Gothic coming-of-age tale steeped in folklore, fear, and the fragile line between friendship and the unknown.

Author Information

Riyan Septa is a storyteller drawn to the forgotten corners of the world-places where silence speaks louder than words, and memory lingers like mist over still water. His writing blends folklore, Southern Gothic atmosphere, and coming-of-age grit to explore the spaces between what's seen and what's believed. When he isn't conjuring ghosts and shadows on the page, Riyan is a quiet observer of people, places, and old things with stories to tell. He believes that every town has its secrets, every child carries questions, and sometimes, the river knows more than it lets on. The Boy by the River is his haunting debut-a tribute to strange friendships, restless spirits, and the courage it takes to face what hides in the dark.
