But a few days later, Sam, a British tourist, comes to find him. Her older sister Jess is one of the missing teens, and Sam thinks Elio’s story could be true. As they investigate, they too are pulled into the water and discover an underwater city ruled by selkie-like creatures. The beings are in desperate need of Elio and Sam’s help, but why have they been taking teenagers, and can they really be trusted?

Questioning culpability and complicity, Pelling’s engrossing history of this great age of the hoax reveals a veiled world of moral panic, tall tales and true crime, and holds a mirror to our own turbulent relationship with truth.
