Eldritch Tides

Jessica J Burke’s Eldritch Tides presents a narrative rooted in the supernatural traditions of Lovecraftian horror. The story begins with the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, which churns up a long forgotten artifact on the Jersey Shore. This object, identified as an Elder Tablet, is discovered by Jeremiah Allen, a fledgling cultist who recognizes its significance. Burke traces Jeremiah’s descent into dark magicks as he follows the footsteps of his ancestors. The text examines how ancient lineage influences modern occult practice, focusing on the specific knowledge revealed by the tablet. It draws on gothic fiction tropes to explore the burden of hereditary duty and the allure of forbidden power. The narrative structure moves from the physical discovery of the artifact to the psychological unraveling of its finder. This book suits readers interested in contemporary takes on classic cosmic horror and family curses. It appeals to those who enjoy character-driven plots within established mythos frameworks. Readers seeking fast-paced action or non-fiction historical analysis may find the focus on internal magical study less engaging. The story remains grounded in the specific events of the storm and the immediate consequences of the discovery.
