'WARE THE RED-BACKED WHALE ...
The Celestine is a refuge from kings and priests. A home for the outcasts of the world. A sanctuary upon the Caribbean Sea.
When a fallen foe lays a curse upon their ship, the crew of the Celestine find themselves stalked and assailed by an abominable red-backed whale - but the physical threat is only the beginning, as an insidious madness grips all aboard, thrusting them into a living nightmare.
Set sail on a nautical adventure of obsession, guilt, and desperation, where what's real becomes increasingly uncertain.

"Durrant brings cosmic horrors to the high sea, with a tale of piracy that quickly morphs into a story of survival, with a crew at the mercy of an entity beyond their understanding, far from help of any kind. Moby Dick meets Weird Tales."
ELFORD ALLEY, Author of APARTMENT 239 and WILDCAT THICKET
"A harrowing journey on the high seas delivered with masterful prosework. There are horrors and revelations aplenty here, and Durrant is at the top of his craft."
ALEXANDER MICHAEL, Author of STRELITZIA
