Low Tide




Low Tide is an extraordinary debut – an atmospheric horror that embraces the power of found family and first love in whatever form that takes.

Will is lonely – captive to the terrible events of his past, trapped in the house, digging through old memories . . . but he’s not alone. He knows he should be frightened of M, but instead he keeps her warm whenever she clambers through the window at night, dragging seaweed, and cold and clammy from the sea.
When a fragile connection to the sun-drenched world outside and the thrill of the waves, begins to pull Will out of the darkness and exhaustion of his grief, he sees a second chance at connection. The possibility of friendship, perhaps even romance. But as Will’s ties to the present deepen, secrets and betrayals rise to the surface, threatening to unravel his new beginning.
And M will never let him go.
