From the Introduction of Tales from Black Sand Beach: 13 Chilling Stories

If you find a map that's old enough, you'll see a strange word where you expect a place to be. That word is Finisterre. It means "end of the Earth" and it was used by explorers to show the edges of the world as we knew them. As time went on and maps joined up, we stopped marking the edges because we stopped thinking there were any. Maybe that's because the edges that remain aren't between one place and another but between shadows and light, between monsters and ideas? Black Sand Beach was a town on the edge. . . .

Ghost stories are funny, they get whispered by children and written down by adults. Everyone knows which parts are true and everyone disagrees on which parts are made up. But isn't all truth just layers of story that we repeat enough times? What follows is a collection of tales from Black Sand Beach, from before the sand shifted and buried the whole place.
