They Drown Our Daughters

If you can hear the call of the water, It's already far too late. After a bitter separation, Meredith Strand returns to the crumbling seaside cliffs of Cape Disappointment with her daughter in tow. They say the town is haunted, but to Meredith it seems more plagued by regret than any malevolent force. However, the waves crash louder than she remembers and the stories her mother once whispered are harder to ignore. Something is watching. As her mother suffers from the early stages of Alzheimer's and her daughter begins to change, Meredith is drawn into a haunting legacy that spans generations of women. If she isn't careful, all three women, bound by blood and heartbreak, will be lost one by one to the ocean's mournful call. They Drown Our Daughters is a modern gothic horror novel that blends chilling coastal folklore with the emotional depths of queer identity, motherhood, and inherited trauma. With haunting atmosphere and lyrical precision, Katrina Monroe delivers a story that grips both heart and spine.
