A short story about a Connecticut man who finds a horrifying way to make a living off of the sea. Sampson’s life was going downhill until an accident changed everything. The only thing he lost in the process was his humanity. This horrifying story about a fisherman who finds a gruesome way to improve his catch is inspired by a true story.
Wow. Eleven pages sounds short, but there was a lot of story in them!
This fisherman loves nothing more than being out on the ocean. It’s so relaxing. The sound of the waves, the gentle rocking of the boat, and his new process of baiting his traps.
It says it’s based on a true story, and I’ll try to find out what it is & share some links.
I’m looking forward to reading his Urban Legend THE MAN WITH THE WHITE FACE
One reply on “BAIT by Micah Ackerman”
Here’s a link, to a recent incident. http://www.kgw.com/news/Skull-found-in-Westport-crab-pot-going-to-FBI-lab-246940641.html
but the story is actually based on a murder case from New Haven Ct back in the 1970’s
Thank you so much for the kind words. I don’t want to be one of those authors who comments on their own reviews, but I thought I’d help you with the story details.
