  • The Man Who Saw the Window at Stillwater Bend

    On a dead-calm night in October of 2019, Luna sat in a diner outside the town of Stillwater, Minnesota, waiting out a storm that never came. A man named Harlan walked in smelling of wet wool and diesel, and told her about a window he'd seen in a lake house that shouldn't have existed—a window that showed a living room from the wrong angle, with a woman inside who was doing everything backward. Harlan wasn't looking for belief. He just needed to say it out loud. What Luna saw when he pointed through the rain-streaked glass is something she still tries not to think about. This is a story about geography, grief, and what happens when a reflection looks back at you with different eyes.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Hand at Shellback Inlet

    It was late October in Port Rennie, a fishing town on the Maine coast that doesn't bother with tourists after Labor Day. Luna's neighbor, an old lobsterman named Caleb Tarr, started hauling traps that came up wrong — not empty, but filled with something that wasn't supposed to be there. A hand. Not a real one, but the shape of one, pressed into the silt at the bottom of each trap, like a fossil made of mud and brine. He kept hauling. The hands got clearer. The fourth one had a ring. Luna helps him clean the last trap on his dock under a single bulb, and they both see what's cradled in the mud — not a hand anymore, but a face, familiar, and it's not done forming. The episode ends with the tide coming in and the water rising over the dock, and neither of them moves.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Rope at Fiddler's Reach

    On a still September night in 1987, on the tidal flats of Fiddler's Reach, Maine, a woman named Hilda Oakes watched a rope rise from the mud. Not driftwood. Not a mooring line. A new, dry rope, coiled as if placed by a careful hand, leading out into the fog where no boat could go. This is the story of what she did next, and what the rope did not do. No violence. No screaming. Just a quiet, wrong thing that she carried home in her hands, and the way the house felt different after. The way the doors stayed shut. The way the rope stayed dry. If you have ever found something on the shore that did not belong there, something that should have been wet but was not, something that waited... this episode is for you.

  • The Woman Who Tied the Knot at Salt Run Creek

    September 1998, just north of Grayling, Michigan, on a narrow two-lane bridge over Salt Run Creek. Luna’s cousin Ellie was the one who found the knots—fisherman’s bends tied in orange nylon rope, looped around the bridge rail in broad daylight, one every ten feet for half a mile. Ellie was a fly-fishing guide, knew every knot by touch, and these were wrong. The loops were too small. The tails were cut too short. And they were wet, even though it hadn’t rained in three weeks. Luna tells the story of the week Ellie spent trying to untie them, and the thing that started answering from the water below. A quiet, intimate episode about attention, obsession, and the wrong kind of patience.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Rope at Parson's Nose

    October 2023. A woman named Etta takes a seasonal job at a derelict lighthouse on a narrow spit of sand off the Virginia coast. The lantern hasn't been lit in forty years. Her only company is a silent keeper named Morrow who leaves notes under her door. She begins to see a rope at night — a single, frayed line stretching from the lighthouse tower into the surf, never taut, never slack. When she tries to follow it, the rope leads her to something that has been waiting in the shallows since the last keeper disappeared. A quiet, salt-stained horror about duty, loneliness, and the things that tie us to the dark.

  • The Man Who Heard the Rope at Scarwater Cove

    When Luna's trawler pulls into Scarwater Cove for repairs, an old fisherman named Kellner tells her about the rope he found tangled in his propeller last winter — a rope that was still warm, still wet, and still tied to something heavy that wanted to be hauled up. As Kellner speaks, the deck lights flicker, and the water beneath the boat begins to hum. A quiet, suffocating episode about the things you should never pull from the deep.

  • The Man Who Found the Rope at Driftwood Cove

    September 2023, on a long beach south of Astoria, Oregon, where the waves pull back to reveal a rope that wasn't there the day before. A retired crabber named Ellis Copley spends six nights walking the same stretch, watching the rope rise and tighten around something he cannot see. Luna tells the story of what happened when he finally touched it, and why he doesn't go near the water anymore. This is a quiet, salt-stained horror about things caught below the surface, and the patience of the tide.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Wake at Black Sand Cove

    Luna tells the story of a late October night in 1993 on the coast of Maine, where a retired fisherman named Ellis Carver saw a light moving across the water long after the last boat had come in. The light did not blink. It did not follow the channel. And when he rowed out to meet it, the wake it left behind did not behave like water. This is not a ghost story about a shipwreck — it is about something that learned to mimic a boat, and the man who could not stop watching it come closer. Set at Black Sand Cove, an hour south of Machias, where the tide pulls harder than it should and the fog sometimes sounds like a man clearing his throat.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Shore at Dunmore Beach

    Luna recounts a night in late October 1997, when she walked the tide line at Dunmore Beach, Rhode Island, and met a woman who was not supposed to be there. The woman wore a blue dress soaked through, and she pointed at something in the sand that Luna could not see at first. By the time Luna understood what she was looking at, the woman was gone. This episode is about the shape of a human hand drawn in wet sand, the way the tide erases things slowly, and the feeling of being watched from the water after you have turned your back. It is quiet. It ends with a question that does not have an answer.

  • The Woman Who Saw the Wake at Kettle Hole

    January stretches on past endurance in the town of Kettle Hole, a rutted road and a boarded-up diner at the edge of a frozen bog. The cold sits so deep the ground cracks. Luna's friend Ellie, a wildlife photographer, goes out one night to shoot the ice — and captures something in her long-exposure frames that shouldn't have been there. A wake on the bog, in the dead of winter, moving against the wind. Not an animal. Not a person. A shape that only appears in the camera's slow burn, and that seems to know it's being watched. The next morning Ellie's memory of the night is already thinning, but the photographs are intact — and what they show isn't anything she remembers looking at. A quiet, lingering story about the gap between the eye and the lens, and what moves in that gap.

About Cold Wake — Fexingo Horror

From the publisher's feed

Cold Wake is a maritime horror anthology where each episode is a self-contained voyage into the black Atlantic. Luna stands on the deck of a North Atlantic trawler, the sodium light casting long shadows as she tells stories of fishermen who haul up things that should never be caught — sentient knots of net, voices from the deep that answer questions no one asked, and wrecks that refuse to stay on the seafloor. The register is salt-crusted and whispered: the slow creak of a hull, the distant foghorn, the shock of cold water on skin. These are tales of isolation, of men who have seen too much darkness beyond the horizon, of creatures that wear the shape of scavenged souls. Every episode is a standalone story, but all are bound by the same icy ocean and Luna's steady, intimate narration — as if she's beside you in the dark, pointing a trembling finger at something just out of sight. There is no rescue here, only the tide pulling you under.
