The Rising Tide

The sea remembers everything. But some memories should never rise again. When photographer Emily Morgan arrives in the remote coastal town of Harborsmouth, she is fleeing a grief too deep to name—the loss of her sister, Claire, who vanished without a trace. The town is preparing for its annual Tide Festival, a celebration Emily finds unsettling. The smiles are too wide, the laughter too loud, and everyone seems to be waiting for something. She soon discovers the truth: Harborsmouth is built on a secret older than the town itself. An ancient entity—The Hunger—lives beneath the tide, feeding on memory and loss. It promises to give you back everything you’ve ever lost, but the price is your very soul. And it has been waiting for Emily. As the water rises and the dead begin to walk, Emily must confront a terrifying question: Is The Hunger using her grief to open a door to our world, or has it simply been waiting for her to open the door inside herself? The Rising Tide is a chilling cosmic horror novel that explores the terrifying price of memory and the lengths we will go to for the ones we love.
