Out of the Sea by A. C. Benson is a haunting and deeply atmospheric tale of psychological and supernatural horror. Set against a lonely, windswept coast in a destitute seaside village, the story follows an old priest who is approached by a local family tormented by unsettling, fleeting glimpses of a bizarre, goat-like entity emerging from the waves. Rather than relying on overt terror, Benson masterfully constructs unease through subtle suggestion, memory, and the slow accumulation of an inexplicable presence. Blending maritime isolation with themes of hidden guilt and mourning, the narrative leaves the reader uncertain where reality ends and the supernatural begins. Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.
