Racing the Tide is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric horror novel set in a coastal town where the beauty of the sea hides a dark, ancient evil lurking beneath the waves. The story follows marine biologist Dr. Clara Hayes, who arrives in the remote seaside village of Gull's Edge to conduct research on the unusual behavior of the local marine life. The town, isolated by towering cliffs and endless stretches of foggy coastline, is known for its serene beaches, its charming port, and its eerie reputation for strange disappearances over the years. What Clara doesn't know is that the town's tranquility is shattered by a malevolent force that has haunted Gull's Edge for generations. Soon after her arrival, Clara begins to notice unsettling signs that something is wrong. Locals speak in hushed tones about the sea's "hunger," a mythic legend passed down through the ages about a monstrous entity beneath the waves that demands tribute in exchange for safe passage. As Clara dives deeper into her research, she learns that there's something unnatural happening along the shoreline. The tides are shifting unpredictably, strange creatures that don't belong to any known species wash up on the shore, and the ocean seems to be reclaiming the land with increasing violence. One evening, after a terrifying storm, Clara witnesses the horrifying aftermath of a recent shipwreck. The wreckage is strangely pristine, as if it has been placed there deliberately. But there's something worse lurking on the beach-human bodies, drained of all life and twisted in unnatural ways, their faces frozen in terror. Clara realizes that the disappearances and the bizarre marine life are tied to an ancient pact, one made centuries ago between the people of Gull's Edge and the terrifying creature that dwells beneath the sea. The creature-an ancient sea god, hungry for blood-has been waking from its slumber, and the town's rituals, once thought to be mere superstition, have been keeping the creature at bay. But with the increasing frequency of the tides' strange behavior, it becomes clear that the creature is growing restless. As Clara digs deeper, she uncovers an old, forgotten ritual that the town's ancestors once used to appease the entity: a sacrifice made to the sea, drawn from the townspeople themselves. The sacrifices had stopped long ago, but now the creature demands a return to the ancient customs, and it's willing to take whoever it wants. With the tides of terror rising, Clara finds herself caught in a race against time. The town's only hope of survival lies in re-establishing the deadly pact, but Clara must decide whether to participate in a blood sacrifice to appease the horror beneath the waves-or to confront the malevolent force head-on, risking the wrath of an ancient and vengeful god. Racing the Tide is a tense, visceral horror story that explores themes of fear, survival, and the ancient forces of nature that can never truly be forgotten. With the relentless pull of the ocean and the suffocating isolation of Gull's Edge, Clara must navigate a world where the very tides conspire against her. The novel builds to a terrifying climax, where the waves themselves seem to race toward the shore, bringing with them unspeakable horrors that threaten to drown the town in darkness forever. Will Clara survive the monstrous tide, or will she become another victim of the sea's endless hunger?
