Bizarre little book about a tiny coastal Scottish village which is gradually being bought out by developers. One lady, Muriel, who has lived there all her life (whose husband died at sea) is refusing to leave. As the haar rolls in, she finds a strange jelly-like blob on the beach and takes it back to her cottage and puts it in the bath. The blob takes on the form of her dead husband, but the only way it can survive is by consuming people, namely some undesirable characters employed by the developers to try and oust Muriel. Eventually the blob/husband offers her the chance to come with him, to transform into whatever he is and live forever in the sea with him, so that's what she does. Bit weird.
