A young man returns from abroad only to discover trouble in the family garden. A woman confronts her past during a bus ride from hell. A couple accidentally uncovers the dark secrets of a mysterious Korean village. A man's childhood wish to witness the paranormal delivers more than he bargained for. And a seaside getaway for two couples takes a sinister turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe characters in this collection are regular, brave people seeking change, just inching their way towards a better life. But in times of change, a person's judgment is not as sharp as it should be. What will it take for them to set aside their doubts and acknowledge the unthinkable? When vulnerable folks like these take grim portents for granted, it's already too late to run. Each of these stories is a noose tightening, cutting off the air until a sickening crack of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eSea of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e attracts wonder and curiosity, but nothing good can come of frolicking in those waters. Terrors thrive below the surface and wait on the shore. Nothing is as it seems, and there is no escape.
