Under the Sea: A Short Story Anthology, Vol. 1 (Summertime Myths and Magic)

By D.M. Million, R.M. Carpus and C.C. Givans

Strange things happen when the temps begin to rise . . .

People act differently. They tell peculiar stories, report bizarre sightings, and make puzzling claims. They say magic stirs beneath the surface, and nothing casts stronger spells than the summer heat. Accounts of seafaring ghouls, ancient merfolk, and lake dwelling creatures run rampant. If the stories are true, who will survive to tell the tale? The only way to find out is to dive in.

Full of entrancing urban legends, mystery, and madness, Under the Sea is the first installment of a new anthology series for lovers of fantasy and folklore. If you like supernatural suspense, gothic fairy tales, or old-school R.L. Stine, these short stories will keep you up reading past your bedtime!

Buy it now! Take the plunge, but hurry and catch your breath—these urban legends will latch on and pull you under.
