Cove and her crew are sponsored by a tech company to make a documentary about the Arcadia, an ocean liner that was inexplicably shipwrecked a hundred years ago. However, while they're trying to unravel its mystery, things start going awry, and they can't shake the feeling that something may be watching them.
From Below by Darcy Coates presents a chilling and claustrophobic underwater horror that’s part survival thriller and part non-traditional ghost story.
The author takes a naturally terrifying premise—deep sea diving, low visibility, dwindling oxygen supplies, etc.—and then gives it a supernatural twist, which amps up the scare factor even more. I already have a fear of drowning from a near-death experience as a child, so this book in particular managed to really get under my skin.
For me, I think the one downside is that the story is a little slow in parts. However, the wonderfully grotesque and haunting body horror at the end really made this one a worthwhile read for me.
Thank you, NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
