Nailed by the Heart
by Simon Clark

Description:
The Stainforth family--Chris, Ruth and their young son, David--moved into the ancient seafort in a nice little coastal town to begin a new life, to start fresh. At the time it seemed like the perfect place to do it, so quiet, so secluded. But they had no way of knowing that they'd moved into what was once a sacred site of an old religion. And that the old god is not dead--only waiting.

Already the god's dark power has begun to spread, changing and polluting all that it touches. A hideous evile pervades the small town. Soon the dead no longer stay dead. When the power awakens the rotting crew of a ship that sank decade earlier, a nightmare of bloodshed and violence begins for the Stainforths, a nightmare that can end only with the ultimate sacrifice--death.
