PREFACE
There exists a synonymity between the sea and the un-understood. Oscillating between fear, desire, a lack of control and yet undeniable yearning, man forges a relationship with the sea through stories. The speculative is mostly fantastical, yet very much lived. Beyond the fear though, there also exists love, usually unrequited. These beings come from the seas, enchant you, and at the cusp of it all, disappear back into the waters—into an abyss that is unattainable, volatile, and yet constant. 

There is more to these creatures, these monsters, ours and theirs. Cultures across the globe, for centuries, talks in whispers about such beings far removed from their own geographical locations; locations that are not seen, possibly heard of, but definitely not just imagined.
