Lure

About Lure:In the chapel of a forsaken fishing village on another world's shore, the seawashed bones of old gods hang from the rafters. When a new god drifts into the bay, the menfolk fear nothing as they reach for their spears; but capturing Her may be their last act of reckless bravado. Her very presence brings dissent and madness. Her voice threatens to tear the starving, angry community apart.  Setting a siege of relentless horror against the backdrop of brine and blood, Lure blurs the line between natural disaster and self-destruction. About the Author:Tim McGregor is the author of Hearts Strange and Dreadful, the Spookshow series, and a handful of other titles. Taboo in Four Colors comes out in November. Tim lives in Toronto with his wife, two kids, and one spiteful ghost.

It's fantastic and stands apart from the crowd."e; Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below "e;Beware the call of the sea in this thrilling, shocking and bloody mermaid tale. Lure is a fresh and horrifying addition to sea creature Horror. I loved it."e;Sonora Taylor, author of Seeing Things and Someone to Share My Nightmares: Stories
