The Mermaid: A Horror Story

“The thing tangled in the netting is pale indigo and bloated, more like some beached creature of the sea than a person. But half-buried in the shingle at my feet there is the unmistakable shape of a hand, fingers swollen, splintered nails encrusted with sand.”

Caspian Spoke journeys to the sea-lashed town of Three Crowns to propose to the love of his life. But before he can, he discovers that she has leapt to her own death. As he searches for answers, grief gives way to dread, and the town begins to close in around him.

Who is trying to get into his bedroom at night?

What lurks in the maze of smugglers’ tunnels deep beneath the town?

Why does Caspian find engagement rings identical to his own scattered about the shore?

Ideal for fans of The Wicker Man and The Fisherman, this novella blends gothic and folk horror to weave a chilling tale of elemental worship.

Something ancient is waiting beneath Three Crowns. And it has begun to whisper Caspian’s name…
