The Fisherman by John Langan

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

Langan’s narrator Abe spins a yarn about a fishing trip gone wrong with a friend that drew me in completely. It’s a story that constantly twists as he struggles to describe both the immense terror he experienced that day but also the grief that consumed him and his friend after the deaths of the wives years before. As the terror and grief become larger and larger they threaten to consume the men mentally and also physically.
