Everyone in Greyhaven waves.
They wave at neighbours.
They wave at strangers.
They wave at the sea.
When Oliver moves to the quiet coastal village of Greyhaven-by-the-Sea, the friendliness feels forced. People wave too quickly. Too carefully. Their smiles don't reach their eyes. Nobody explains why waving matters so much - only that it does.
Especially near the water.
As Oliver begins to notice strange patterns in the tide, the lighthouse, and the way people's hands seem to move on their own, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the sea is watching. It learns faces. It learns names. It responds to attention.
The more people acknowledge it, the closer it comes.
Refusing to wave isn't easy. Muscles ache. Panic sets in. Hands twitch and rise without permission. When the village finally tries to stop, the sea stops asking - and starts taking.
With the help of the exhausted lighthouse keeper, Oliver discovers the real purpose of the light. It doesn't destroy the sea. It draws a boundary. That boundary only holds as long as someone is watching... and refusing to respond.
Greyhaven can be saved.
The world cannot.
Because somewhere else, on another coast, someone is waving right now.
Don't Wave Back is a chilling standalone story in the DeadQuiet series - perfect for readers who love Goosebumps-style horror, slow-building dread, and stories that make ordinary habits feel terrifying long after the last page.
One rule.
One habit.
One mistake.
If something waves at you from the sea-
don't wave back.
