I was so blessed to receive an ARC of this from the publisher, and I've been struggling to review, because I believe this is just such an important anthology.

Aside from being a charity anthology, you can just tell how much love and care went into every piece presented.

This was emotional, dangerous, and like the sea itself, quite beautiful.

I cannot recommend enough that you pick up a copy of this if you're in the market for an anthology.

This was a neat collection of stories! I love sea horror and it was a treat to read so many stories for Halloween this year.
