‘It was the first Tuesday of August on the isle of Harpsmoor, which meant someone was going to die.’
FortySouth Short Story Anthology 2022
Salt For Cleansing
Connected by the theme, ‘islands’, this anthology presents the eleven shortlisted entries from the 2022 Tasmanian Writers’ Prize.
Salt For Cleansing takes readers to the isle of Harpsmoor, a place where the sea hungers and something dark is afoot. Evocative of Lovecraftian horror, this short piece of prose leaves readers wondering what else may be lurking just below the waves.
