Scylla's Lost Children: Tales of the Deep
Release Date TBD
This is a collection created with my best friend featuring dark tales of the deep sea. This is not a sweet collection of tales where mermaids save sailors and selkies fall in love with the fishermen who find them. No, this is something else.
Mermaids take revenge on a crew who abuse one of their own. A selkie woman saves her children from a fate she considers worse than death. A group of friends visit a friend during the cherry blossom festival only to find what monster dwells nearby.
