It Ends Beneath Us is a haunting and atmospheric collection of short stories that explores the depths of memory, grief, and hidden truths. Set in coastal towns where the sea serves as both a refuge and a mirror to the past, these tales uncover the mysteries buried beneath the surface-whether they lie in forgotten family secrets, unresolved tragedies, or long-buried emotional wounds.
In this collection, characters confront the unspoken, the lost, and the terrifying, finding themselves drawn toward what they've been avoiding-whether it's a flood-damaged childhood home, a ghostly figure from the past, or a secret buried beneath the ocean floor. Through each story, the sea becomes a metaphor for the struggles we face within ourselves and the hidden forces that shape our lives.
From grieving parents and estranged siblings to those searching for redemption, the characters of It Ends Beneath Us must dive deep into the past to find the answers they need. These stories speak to the universal journey of facing our buried truths and finding the strength to move forward, offering hope even in the darkest corners of grief and loss.
It Ends Beneath Us is a poignant exploration of how confronting the past-no matter how painful-can lead to transformation, healing, and understanding. Through lyrical prose and richly atmospheric settings, Alden Blake invites readers to uncover what lies beneath the surface and discover the power of letting go.
