Welcome to Litsy!

Strange things happen in The Gulp. The residents have grown used to it. The isolated Australian harbour town of Gulpepper is not like other places. Some maps don’t even show it. And only outsiders use the full name. Everyone who lives there calls it The Gulp. The place has a habit of swallowing people. A man enjoying early retirement makes the mistake of visiting The Gulp. A fishing boat crew find themselves somewhere entirely unexpected. A farmer has an argument with his wife that turns violent and then entirely catastrophic. A Venture Scout troop from Enden travel a little too far on their bush excursion. Everything that’s been getting stranger than usual in The Gulp begins to run completely out of control. Five more novellas. Five more descents into darkness. Welcome to The Gulp, where nothing is as it seems. “If you’re a fan of one town horror anthologies with a best of 80s vibe (like anything from Castle Rock or Josh Malerman’s Goblin) then you really should get yourself some ‘Tales from the Gulp‘ by Alan Baxter.” – Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES
