What is Weird Tales from Waves End Retreat?

Weird Tales from Waves End Retreat is a collection of strange stories set in a fictional Outer Banks trailer park, a hidden summer spot nestled between the Graveyard of the Atlantic and eastern Carolina’s treacherous Carisbrooke Sound, where generations of locals, tourists, and transients have encountered inexplicable mysteries. A few have even lived to tell the tale.

Each story of the anthology is anchored to a different trailer, or lot, at a different point in the park’s history and told by a talented local author in their own unique voice, style, and genre.
