Hades Bay by Jubilee Finnegan is a chilling tale told from the perspective of a predatory beach that perceives July as its "best tasting month." It details the insidious process of luring unsuspecting humans, marking them with a cold, invasive chill, and meticulously breaking down their bodies and minds. The story culminates in the victim's horrifying transformation and assimilation into the vast, collective entity that is the beach itself, becoming another part of its unfathomable consciousness.
