A dark shape circles under a fishing boat. Is it their imagination or is there truly a giant sea monster that preys on anyone who dares enter the cursed Lake Goubet?

The legend of the monster of Lake Goubet is well known among the inhabitants of Djibouti, Africa, and became internationally known when renowned sea explorer Jacques Cousteau investigated the lake and its legend. Although there are variations to this legend, all versions clearly indicate that there is a reason this lake is named The Pit of Demons. When you open this book, you will travel to Djibouti and dive to the depths of the ocean to learn more about this mysterious monster that continues to fascinate explorers today. Although a fictional work, it is based on documented events.
