Marked By The Sea

By Andrew Stalter

After a brutal divorce, Dennis moves to California seeking a fresh start. What he finds is Ian- charming, sophisticated, and strangely interested in a lonely Midwesterner drinking alone in a dive bar. One party invitation changes everything.
Soon Dennis is swept into the Pacifica Chapter of the Oceanus Society, where midnight beach rituals and offerings to an ancient sea god promise belongings he's never known. When a failed treasure hunt leaves him mysteriously connected to the primordial entity Oceanus, Dennis becomes their most valuable convert.
But as a devastating red tide chokes the Bay Area and the cult grows desperate for divine intervention, Dennis discovers a horrifying truth: they've been worshipping wrong for generations.
Some gods don't hunger for worship. They hunger for something else.
