Saltmoor Offerings: Confessions from the Edge of England

By. G.J Fene

Saltmoor looks like any other forgotten coastal town in England, a place of fog-thick mornings, stubborn fishermen, and cliffs worn thin by centuries of tide. Outsiders visit for the scenery. Some leave. Some don’t.

For Saltmoor keeps its own history, written not in books but in water, stone, and blood.

In this chilling collection of interconnected stories, the truth behind the town’s uncanny prosperity emerges through the confessions of its residents, a lighthouse keeper who marks travelers with a ring of impossible light, a kindly baker whose sourdough starter demands more than flour, a priest who hears devotion echo back from the deep, a young woman torn between love and legacy, a fisherman haunted by the debts he must pay, a historian who rewrites the past to preserve the future, and a taxi driver cursed to ferry the chosen to their fate.

To live in Saltmoor is to know that the sea is alive.
To prosper here is to understand that nothing comes without a sacrifice.
And to tell the truth is to admit that the town survives because someone, always someone, is taken.

Saltmoor: Tales of the Drowned and Chosen is a dark, atmospheric descent into ritual, community complicity, and the quiet horror of ordinary people doing extraordinary wrongs. Each story reveals a different keeper of Saltmoor’s ancient pact, weaving a haunting portrait of a town that worships what watches from the waves.

Come visit Saltmoor.
Just don’t come alone.
And don’t stay past low tide.
