On the Reef

"On the Reef" is a short story by Caitlin R. Kiernan that originally appeared in the October 2010 issue of Sirenia Digest (#59). It describes a ceremony conducted by a cult on Innsmouth's Devil's Reef, examining the motivations of volunteers for human sacrifice.
The story refers explicitly to the events of H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
