In honor of Geo Rutherford's social media Spooky Lake Season celebration, a list of books featuring haunted or haunting bodies of water [fiction list]

Mostly archeology, relic hunting and natural sciences

all genres

Set in a secondary world inspired by history or mythology

Generic list for books I haven't read yet and don't know how to sort. I don't know what to call this, I'll decide later

classic literature for children that's worth reading as an adult

I’d love suggestions from things that helped you- especially finances or any other areas I’m lacking here.

These series openers feature ensemble casts and secondary plot arcs that stretch over multiple books. Multiple genres and eras of fiction are represented, and most series are complete while others are ongoing.
