May the Sea Smother You

May the Sea Smother You is a haunting deep-sea horror perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and Nick Cutter. 

“Utterly terrifying and deeply soulful.” – Thomas D. Lee, author of Perilous Times

In the cold, still depths of Lake Superior, it waits. It hungers. It hates.

Gary McLaughlin has spent his whole life fighting to stay above water. 

His decaying hometown is oppressive, his father is in and out of prison, and his grandfather vanishes for weeks at a time. His explorations of the local lakes and their silent shipwrecks are his only source of peace – until a terrifying encounter with the malevolent things that lurk beneath the water sends him fleeing from home.  

Years later, Gary and his partner Tim have built a life for themselves in the big city, far from his narrow-minded hometown town and its rotting shipwrecks. But when tragedy forces Gary to return, he finds that neither the town, nor the lake, nor the dark things that wait in its shadowy depths, have forgotten him.

The water has called him home, and it will take its due.
