Tamika Thompson’s “She By the Sea” magnificently blends nightmarish images of the Black Lagoon’s Gill-Man, a dead basketball star, and an unhinged, unhoused woman in a stabbing on the Pacific Coast Highway. As the police make a dragnet for Colleen, the ocean and narrative tension rise to a bloody good finish. A standout among standouts in this brilliant dark carnival of a collection!
