Buckle up folks, because this may be the best stuff he has ever written. If i had to compare it with anything without spoiling it, it would be mostly Silent Hill and funny enough with a touch of Dead Space (without the space and necromorphs or course).My reviews for Tim Curran books usually consist of a bunch of superlatives, a whole lot of praising and respect and admiration and love, then some more superlatives, maybe some hyperbole, then some shameless groveling and fanboy gushing to finish. Its relentless hopelessness with twists and turns i did not expect. The things that happen in this book are pure terror. I wasnt expecting much going in and the prologue didnt really grab my attention as i thought it was yet another boring ghost story about ghost ships, but i was wrong.very wrong. That being said, I needed something new, something fresh to me, a new author to get into. And ive read a few this year that were utterly bleak but beautifully written which turned out to be some of my favorites (BTF & Swan Song). Ive read a few fucked up books varying in different degrees but most read like they were written by people who just wanted to write fucked up stuff for the sake of it (Hogg & COWS). Ive tried to get into a few novels that centered around the theme of water/open water and they just werent my thing (The Fisherman & The Terror).
