Two fisherman hit the Chesapeake Bay in the midst of a season long crab shortage in order to save their business. If they don't bring in a haul and pay off their loan to Otis Bailey, the King of the Old Bay, they're as good as dead. Unfortunately for them, Otis is the least of their worries.
Mixing elements of crime and creature horror, The Old Bay King is sure to delight the fans of Guy N. Smith's Crabs series and J.F. Gonzalez's Clickers series.
This short story will be available in the upcoming collection, The Razorblades in my Head, due out in Summer 2021.
