As Betwixt the Devil and the Deep Sea

Author: @Thorn Wilde
Theme: The Storm

After a few days’ stay on a remote and bleak island in the sea, a writer finds that the boat he arrived in has been torn from its
mooring by a storm. None of the locals will take him to the mainland, afraid to brave the waters after the storm, and
as he struggles to make his way home, it seems more and more as if something doesn’t want him to leave.

 

Reader Comments:

MichaelS36: Wow. What a well written and creepy tale. I couldn't help but read it. It was that good. 

Mikiesboy: If you like a little horror ... not too scary or graphic at all. Just spine tingly and a little creepy, you cannot go wrong with this gem.

Wayne Gray: If you like horror then don't skip this one. It sent a chill down my spine, and the imagery was just right.
