Samantha Passmore’s shadow has followed her, twitching and coiling, for ten years. Ever since she survived an attack by an unspeakable beast in a dark cove on Hoal beach. But that monster was impossible. It couldn’t have been real. It couldn’t have torn her apart and feasted on her insides. So the truth was buried, pushed to the corners of her mind.

A decade on, Sam returns to the village for her grandfather’s funeral. But being so close to the place she shouldn’t have survived jars loose memories she’s desperate to keep lost at sea. As she’s plagued by truths she can’t make sense of, the town mirrors her torment: animals are gored, locals grow strange and obsessive, and there’s something dripping in the water. Something floating in the eyes of the villagers. Something following Sam. The only way to escape the unfolding nightmare is to face what really happened on that beach, even if it threatens to drown her.
