The salt air doesn't just fill your lungs—it claims them in this chilling anthology of mythical beasts, alien entities, and dark oceanic horrors waiting where the light fails. You think you know the myths of the deep. You don't. You only know the lies told to keep children away from the shore. In this anthology, discover the stories of terrifying and awe-inspiring creatures that lurk in the unexplored depths. From selkies with skin more precious than the softest silk to mermaids with teeth like needles, these tales reveal the true nature of the ocean's denizens. But the old legends are only the beginning. Readers will also plunge into the abyss to confront extraterrestrial entities that defy human comprehension and ancient, darker monstrosities that have slumbered beneath the waves since the dawn of time. Step into the surf. The tide is coming in, and the water is colder than you remember. Within these pages, you will find yourself well out of your depth as mortals encounter the ocean's most closely guarded secrets. Some will find the strength to fight their battles and break the surface again. Others will simply let the silent waters take them.
