Dark Is The Water

A pocketbook of short horror stories and flash fiction.

A gang of young women are not what they seem. A creature waits on a beach. A ceremony in a small community turns into a nightmare. The everyday spaces of cricket grounds and train stations become places where inhabitants unravel into themselves. Susan Earlam's obsession with bodies and their potential for metamorphosis is unveiled in this haunting collection. Dark Is The Water will make you question what it is to live on the edges of this and other worlds.

Drawing on the feminist horror influences of Shirley Jackson, Angela Carter and Julia Armfield this collection unveils Susan Earlam's obsession with bodies and their potential for metamorphosis.
