Publisher's Summary

And the water shall call them home.

A water-borne blight hits a small community on a remote Scottish island. The residents are a mix of island-born and newcomers seeking a slower life away from the modern world; all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. Some claim the illness may be a case of mass hysteria—or even a long-buried curse—but when ferry service fails and phone towers go down, inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal as the outwardly harmonious fabric of the community is irreversibly torn apart.

Dead Water is an atmospheric, suspenseful tale of folk horror and isolation within a small island community, from the author of A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World—perfect for fans of Midnight Mass and Pine.

water zombies. I didn't expect to love them

great narration, that really made this enjoyable. but the story as well, the slow burn of the Scottish isles, the ancient family ties. I thought it was quite beautiful, and not gratuitous in the violence at all
