Description
A woman who can’t remember her death.
On an eerily quiet island off the coast of Ireland, a woman with no memory claws her way out of her grave and back to life. But not everyone welcomes the return of Mara Fitch.
An island with a terrible secret.
Inishbannock. Where strange misshapen figures watch from the trees and the roads are covered in teeth. Where two brothers gamble for nothing, the doctor only treats one patient, and the pub owner speaks in riddles. Where a poet loses and finds his soul. And a man without a heart claims he's the key to unlocking Mara's secrets.
A past that refuses to stay buried.
As Mara returns to her life on this upside-down island, her memories begin to leech their way back to the surface. The more she remembers, the more the village will do anything to stop her . . .
But the sea remembers it all.
Advance Praise
“A real page turner. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the plot twisted into a different shape. Thoroughly enjoyable, delightfully grotesque, and an absolutely satisfying read.” —T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author of What Feasts at Night
“The Burial Tide is the most exciting book I’ve read in a long, long time. Atmospheric and horrifying and incredibly twisty. The minute you finish, I promise you’ll want to flip back to the beginning and read it again.” —Alex Grecian, New York Times bestselling author of The Yard
“The Burial Tide cements Neil Sharpson’s uncanny knack for blending Gaelic with gore, parable and punk, along with what’s so damn monstrous in both mythology and modernity. His latest novel is an absolutely fantastic folklore freakout that smashes the past into the present and bleeds just about everywhere. You’re going to get wet reading this one, trust me.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Utterly original, The Burial Tide is a horror mystery mashup that raises you from the depths of a muddy grave to an isolated and inimitable island where the locals are a little too familiar, tight-lipped, and older than they look. Steeped in Irish mythology that blurs lines between monster and man, Sharpson’s latest will leave you with a fresh set of fears.” —Nick Medina, author of Indian Burial Ground
“The Burial Tide is a twisty, cinematic whirlwind brimming with Irish folklore and razor-sharp wit. Neil Sharpson’s writing crackles with propulsive energy and biting humor—if you’re looking for a fun, engaging take on mythology and legend, this is the book for you.” —Jimmy Juliano, author of Dead Eleven
