May the Sea Smother You

May the Sea Smother You is a haunting blend of deep-sea horror and queer romance, perfect for fans of The Deep and From Below. 

Gary McLaughlin has been swimming in the deep end his whole life.

His small town is narrow-minded and oppressive, his father is in and out of prison, and his grandfather disappears for weeks at a time. But he’s found solace in the sea. Exploring ancient shipwrecks is the only thing that brings him peace. Then, on an important training dive, a shocking accident forces him out of the water and away from his hometown. 

Years later, a family tragedy drags him back. But something else has been waiting for his return. In the cold, still depths of Lake Superior, buried among the shipwrecks, something has called him home. It hungers. It hates. It will take its due.
