Night is the worst on this bit of the coast. Even when I cannot see it, I can hear it. The black mouth of the sea eating away at the shore, at certainty. The tidal teeth of the King-Under-the-Sea constantly gnawing at the bones of the land. – Henry Summerscale.

I avoid the pub this time of year. Stories are currency in The Returning Star. Tale for pint. Drunken fisherfolk talk of ‰Û÷light from the homes of the drowned dead‰Ûª. Below wave glimpses. Chatter that ruins me with a fear of something I will never see myself. – Henry Summerscale
