In the sleepy town of Port Covenant on the Texas Gulf Coast, a sinister eldritch conspiracy threatens the children who live there. And the parents are in on it. THE TIDE POOL is a Lovecraftian coming-of-age Young Adult novel. In the sleepy town of Port Covenant on the Texas Gulf Coast, no one ever gets bitten by mosquitoes. There hasn’t been a hurricane hit since the Calamity of ’62. The waters are peaceful, and fishing and shrimping catches are abundant. Ellie Morgan, a bold, skeptical 14-year-old, becomes curious about these unusual boons. She wonders about the tide pool in a rocky outcrop on the beach. It’s perfectly circular, and at nightfall a whirlpool forms there. Her mother, a practical nurse, dismisses these anomalies and heads off to evening services at Our Lady of the Tides Church. And then one day Ellie notices a small patch of silvery scales growing on her arm. Can Ellie and her friends (who also discover scaly patches on their skin) uncover what’s going on in the town?
