It's best read with both feet on solid ground. Into the Drowning Deep is engaging and fun read, filled with bite-your-face-off, apex predator mermaids. But not the mermaids they were expecting. The only clue loss of the Atargatis - previously dramatized in the novella ROLLING IN THE DEEP ( Amazon) - is grainy footage which shows, somehow, impossibly, that they found the mermaids they were looking for. Anne and the crew of the Atargatis were out filming a docu-tainment series (sorry for using that word) about mermaids when they just… disappeared. Tory is haunted by the death of her sister Anne, who was lost at sea seven years ago while on a research mission funded by the Imagine Entertainment company. INTO THE DROWNING DEEP follows Tory Stewart, a graduate student in marine biology.
If you’re interested in reading about mermaids chewing on humans and then dragging them into the abyss, then this book is for you! If you read the words ‘killer mermaids’ and then shrugged… well, I don’t think reading the rest of the review will convince you, but I’ll do my best. I was tempted to stop my review right here.
INTO THE DROWNING DEEP is best read with both feet on solid ground, especially if you happen to scream every time seaweed brushes your legs. These are creepy, bite-your-face-off, apex predator mermaids. If you’re picturing ‘killer mermaids’ as Ariel with a knife, think again. INTO THE DROWNING DEEP meets those criteria–it’s engaging and fun with a good dose of horror and an embrace of the absurd. Ideally, beach reads also have enough forward motion that I can while away the hours with ease. A good beach read is straightforward enough that you can pick it up and put it down whenever you need to take a dip in the water or reapply that sunscreen. First, I guess I should clarify that by beach read, I don’t mean trash. INTO THE DROWNING DEEP ( Amazon) is the kind of book I would normally recommend as a beach read.
