Just Beneath Your Boat

Releasing May 17, 2026
 

23 authors and 11 artists came together to create this aquatic horror anthology curated and edited by Tom Folske. Throughout history, tales of water monsters have fueled sailors' and swimmers' stories, bringing a new fear from the murky depths of the world's most unexplored regions. As it stands, we know more about space than what we know about what lurks at the bottom of the deepest trenches of the ocean and many other water systems. Urban legends, mythical creatures, and cryptids alike were spun together in a terrifying mix of chaos. This anthology will leave you with one lingering question: Do you dare to venture into the water?

All proceeds to be donated to Nature and Culture International, which works with Indigenous peoples, communities, governments, and partners to protect intact forests within large, connected landscapes across Latin America. Not only does deforestation endanger the lives of people across the globe due to rising climate change, but they also force many species into extinction. Help us protect and conserve the planet!
