The Town That Forgot How to Breathe

Something strange is happening in the seaside town of Bareneed. Mythical creatures that formerly existed only in mariners' dreams are being pulled from the sea. Perfectly preserved corpses of villagers long ago lost at sea are washing up on the shore. And residents of the town are suddenly suffering from a mysterious illness that is making them forget how to breathe. Now, Joseph Blackwood, a recent divorcé who has returned to Bareneed with his daughter, must uncover the mystery of this paranormal illness to save his only child--and the entire town. The Town That Forgot How to Breathe is, in the words of J. M. Coetzee, "an eerie and gripping story, the work of an extravagantly haunted imagination."
