Free (Kindle) The Morgow Rises! by Peter Tremayne [Cornwall Seacoast Creature Horror]
The Morgow Rises! by British author Peter Tremayne (ISFDB, Wikipedia), perhaps best known as the author of the popular Sister Fidelma historical mystery series, is his vintage standalone creature feature horror thriller, starring hapless plucky Cornish fishermen, pressured by the decline in fish stocks and the evils of commoditized unregulated commercial fishing, are forced to move further out to sea, where of course another aquatic evil with a catchy cautionary verse lurks, as they do, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

The waters around them seemed to erupt. Billy Scawen’s mouth dropped open in horror, the briar pipe falling to the boards and smashing to pieces. Then young Jack Scawen gave one long, piercing shriek of terror… |

Deep sea monster stores are worth taking a gamble on 100% of the time.
