The Ballad of Barnacle Bill

The Ballad of Barnacle Bill by Newton Webb. FREE on Kindle Unlimited or available to purchase on Amazon.

A terrifying new cosmic horror novella from Newton Webb.

In 1818, the sleepy seaside town of Grimsdyke faces a new otherworldly threat.

When negligent behaviour leads to the death of his son, Avery will stop at nothing to speak to him one last time. He's willing to forsake honour, coin and even God.

But as he descends into the murky realms of occultism, smuggling, and necromancy. Avery discovers that sometimes the only thing worse than having your prayers ignored is having them answered.
