I hate the ocean. I hate it so much. I can’t imagine anything more utterly terrifying than open water, except maybe all the things that live there. Lurking behind nothing but the infinite blue.
I can’t watch movies or play video games to trigger my fear. That’s way too much. But I want to try reading something that’ll do it. And specifically, I want something from the horror genre, something specifically designed to prod that emotion. I saw Nick Cutter’s The Deep recommended back in October, which awoke this curiosity. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by that book. I thought most aspects of it were really poorly written. Also the horror in it wasn’t strictly the ocean itself. So help me out here. Recommend something to make me regret posting this.
