The Shepherd of World's Edge: A Coastal Horror Drowning Towns and Ancient Gods

The ocean doesn't wash away sins at World's Edge. It preserves them in brine. Grieving social worker George Brooks crosses a treacherous causeway to investigate seventeen missing children, only to become trapped as the Atlantic swallows the road home. Inside the rotting school, the remaining students aren't studying; they are sitting in a synchronized, catatonic trance, smelling of stagnant tide pools. Tormented by 'The Keen'-a maddening wind that shreds the mind-and visions of his late daughter, George realizes the townspeople are shifting into something amphibious and ancient. He must uncover the source of the decay before the rising waters claim his sanity along with his life. The tide is high, and it is hungry. Perfect for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, *The Fisherman* by John Langan, Stephen King, and *The Woman in Black*. - From the author of Stairway to Darkness and many more.
