The lore of Dutchman's Creek, told by local blue-collar cook Howard, becomes a central focus of the novel, along with the struggles of all of the men to remain stable despite insurmountable grief. Soon, Dan asks Abe to take a fishing trip with him to Dutchman's Creek, a stream known for taking the lives of fishermen who visit. After stabilizing himself, Abe befriends Dan, who has also experienced a tragedy, and together the two find solace in fishing. The main character, Abraham or Abe, as he prefers to be called, loses his wife early in the novel, struggling to remain balanced after the emotional toll that watching his wife die took on his well-being. The Fisherman is a mythical horror novel by John Langan, which pays homage, in part, to Moby Dick and the Bible.
