Summary

Drift into a sargasso of horror in this survival journal recounting the stranding of a ship's crew in a desolate, weed-choked seascape. The survivors must contend with monstrous "weed men," giant mollusks, and the crushing psychological weight of a silent, alien environment. The archaic, formal style of the narration enhances the feeling of authenticity and dread, grounding the fantastic elements in a gritty reality. It is a claustrophobic masterpiece of sea terror that explores the vulnerability of man against the unknown of the deep.

    "Thirteen in number . . . It is my belief my daughter danced with the devil . . ." 
     
     
     
    As soon as Lyddie crosses the old stone bridge into Creech Cross, there's a strong feeling of stepping, not so much back in time, as out of it. Ancient magic overlaid with dark witchcraft and superstition bleeds into the present day, events, and people as woven into the fabric of history as the age-old tracks traversing the land itself. Local people barely acknowledge her, and the incomers are that bit too friendly, until gradually it becomes clear she and her husband are in danger. 
     
     
     
    Who to trust? Who not to trust? Before the situation becomes alarmingly, inexplicably . . . unsafe.
