Mystery runs deep along the Grand Strand—deeper than the tides, older than the oaks, and darker than the summer storms that crash in without warning. Along the South Carolina coast, the marsh breathes secrets to life, and the riptide carries stories that linger just out of reach. Some half-remembered. Some half-believed.
In Riptide: Short Stories from the Grand Strand, four acclaimed authors—Kelly Capriotti Burton, Lisa Borne Graves, Maegwen Salley-Massie, and Caleb Wygal—offer a haunting mosaic of mystery, memory, and myth set amid the windswept beauty of the Grand Strand. Rooted in coastal folklore and enriched with new imaginings, these tales revisit familiar legends while breathing life into new ones. Blending the eerie with the elegiac, this collection explores the thin spaces between past and present, truth and legend, the living and the lost.
Some mysteries don’t need to be solved. Only witnessed.
