Wells Tower, "The Brown Coast"

A guy moves into a shore house he's renovating and begins collecting weird sea creatures that get stranded in the tidepool.

(from Everything Ravaged Everything Burned)

This one kind of teeters on the edge. I don't trust this protagonist, which is different than calling him unreliable. I believe the world is something like the way he sees it, but his morals and disposition make him a tough guy to wanna hang with.
