Watcher at the Tide: Hell Hare House Short Reads

By Ash Tudor

A family beach outing spirals into a gripping tale of supernatural encounters and a child's fight against an ancient force.

 

A seemingly innocent family beach day takes a turn into the uncanny when twelve-year-old Molly stumbles upon a mystery that defies explanation.

 

Isolated from the rest of the beachgoers by cliffs and dunes, she finds herself in a serene pocket of the beach, unaware of the chilling events that await.

 

As the day unfolds, the thin veil between reality and the supernatural begins to tear, revealing a world filled with wonder and terror.

 

A suspenseful journey through the eyes of a young girl facing unimaginable challenges, where courage and fear collide.
