Description
Something strange is happening in the seaside town of Bareneed. Mythical creatures are being pulled from the sea, perfectly preserved corpses of long-lost villagers are washing up on the shore, and residents of the town are suddenly overcome by a mysterious illness that is making them forget how to breathe.
A page-turning gothic thriller reminiscent of H. P. Lovecraft, The Town That Forgot How to Breathe is a novel of dazzling ambition and strange, haunting loveliness. . . . An absolute triumph of the storyteller's art (Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea).Author: Kenneth J. Harvey
