The House at Blackwater Quay
When a freelance formatter takes a temporary job preparing an old manuscript found in a Cork waterfront house, she discovers the text keeps changing in ways no file should. The house seems to be responding to the pages, drawing her into a history of drowned residents, missing records, and something that wants its story preserved at any cost.
