Chills In The Night

CHILLS IN THE NIGHT: THE DEAD TIDE - VOLUME 18

The tide is retreating. Something horrifying is coming ashore.

On November 10, 1978, Eric Dalene's family is preparing to celebrate little Parsa's fourth birthday in Playa del Carmen. But a terrifying warning from the Ghost Network threatens to turn an ordinary celebration into another supernatural nightmare.

Fishing boats are returning without their crews. The shoreline reeks of decay. Strange objects move against the outgoing tide, and frightened witnesses describe shapes beneath the Caribbean waters that should not exist.

When Eric, Corey, Grandpa Merlin, and their extraordinary family investigate, they discover that the sea is concealing something far more dangerous than an ordinary haunting.

Rotting figures emerge from the surf. Unnatural creatures threaten fishermen and residents, while an enormous presence beneath the waves suggests that the nightmare has only begun.

As the danger spreads beyond the beach, the family must protect innocent people, investigate disturbing evidence, and uncover clues connected to the coastline's forgotten past.

Ancient memories, restless spirits, powerful wizardry, and unexpected allies become part of a desperate struggle against an enemy that refuses to surrender its secrets.

Even Eric's extraordinary magic cannot replace the one thing the family needs most: an understanding of what has awakened beneath the Caribbean.

The sea has returned something that should have stayed buried.

The Dead Tide is Volume 18 of Garrick David Pattenden's Chills in the Night series, a supernatural horror thriller filled with terrifying coastal encounters, undead creatures, ancient mysteries, dark humour, and the fierce loyalty of the Dalene family.
