 I had SO much fun with this story, which instead of feeling like a fantasy which I expected I found had a very sci-fi horror movie feel with a great build up of tension. The only short falling for me is that since it's a novella you don't have much time to get too attached to the ill-fated crew aboard the Atargatis, so the individual losses had less impact than it might have, but the story is well paced with a great atmosphere, writing style, a really vicious take on mermaids and like I said I had a lot of fun reading this.
