Low Tide
An extraordinary debut — both an atmospheric horror and a powerful surf-coast novel with romance at its heart.
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 when she clambers through the window at night, dragging seaweed, cold and clammy from the sea. When a chance encounter with a local surfer offers Will the chance to heal, M pulls him closer, needs him more. Can he break free or will he be dragged under?
