Some wrecks don't stay dead.
Investigative reporter Eleanor Carter is drawn to the ghostly whispers surrounding the Alkimos-a decaying shipwreck with a history too dark to ignore. Warrick Hale, a local fisherman, remains because of the ghosts he can't escape. His brother vanished aboard that ship. And now, something is calling them both back.
At first, the rumors seem like superstition. Then Eleanor's camera captures shadows where none should be. Warrick hears his brother's voice in the groan of the hull. The Alkimos isn't just a wreck-it's alive, its rusted veins pulsing with an impossible hunger.
When they uncover the journal of Maud Steane, a woman who disappeared from the ship in 1943, the truth surfaces: the Alkimos was never abandoned. It was waiting. The crew didn't flee-they were taken. And now, the ship has set its sights on new prey.
The tide retreats too far. The locals lock their doors at dusk. And in every reflection, something watches.
The Alkimos is awake. And it remembers how to hunt.
Praise for THE ALKIMOS:A masterpiece of creeping dread-The Terror meets True Detective's cosmic horror.
You'll feel the ship's breath on your neck long after the last page.
