The Tide Brings Them Back
A Delta Ghost Story

About this book:

Beneath the swollen tide of the Mississippi Delta, a rust‑streaked skimmer cuts through water that remembers every soul it has claimed. Harlan, a grizzled salvager, is hired to pull forgotten school‑tax records from a submerged church‑school—only to discover that the river is giving back more than silt: a pale arm reaching from the deep, a bell that rings on its own, and the shuffling, chain‑clad ghosts of men who never left the water.

As the salt wedge pushes inland, the line between the living and the drowned blurs, and each pull of the grappling iron reveals another secret buried in the muck—cracked ledgers, rusted bell towers, and the whispered names of those the tide swore to keep. The deeper Harlan goes, the more the river seems to answer, urging him to confront what it has been guarding for generations.

*The Tide Brings Them Back* is a haunting, lyrical ghost story where the landscape itself is a character—bleak, beautiful, and relentless. If you crave a tale that blends historical grit with supernatural suspense, let the delta’s dark currents pull you in.
