Rolling in the Deep
by Mira Grant
Rolling in the Deep || Mira Grant
Rolling in the Deep #0.5
Pub Date: 06/04/15
Genre: Horror, Sci fi fantasy, creature feature, underwater horror
Rating: 4 stars
Rolling in the Deep is a short-story prequel set before Mira Grant’s, 2017, full length novel, Into the Drowning Deep. Mira Grant is a better known as bestselling author, Seanan McGuire.
Rolling in the Deep is quick (132 pages) read which can be read before or after Into the Drowning Deep. The story follows the Atargatis, a cruise ship which sets out to produce a documentary on mermaids. Told in flashbacks, interspersed with media stories, we know the voyage of the Atargatis is not going to be smooth sailing. The crew expected to find a hoax but instead they find something much more deadly and with a lot more teeth.
The book is quick and easy to read. I finished it in one sitting and immediately went searching for the next one in the series. The mermaid element is what drew me to this one. We have all read about killer sharks, squids, piranhas, but a killer mermaid? Sign me up for that. I enjoyed the fantasy meets horror element of this.
The book builds to a tense and horrifying conclusion. It’s gory but not too graphic in details. Overall, I really enjoyed this read and would highly recommend it to any fans of underwater horror.
