They arrive on the waves or lurk beneath the sands... a bizarre ritual evokes the inexplicable horror of Shirley Jackson... on the shores of the New World a very old and terrifying nemesis stalks those who dare to explore... a storm-tossed beach gives back that which was taken from a family... Lovecraftian nightmares await those who venture too close to the water... for seekers of beauty and inspiration the beach represents a calm and inviting sanctuary. But look closer and a darker truth may be revealed... shadows that lie beneath the emerald waters and sun-baked shoreline. Nineteen of horror's newest voices explore these hidden realms of terror in "The Parasitorium: Parasitic Sands."
