From Below

This was a pretty decent book, one to help quell my love of underwater horror books. With that being said I do have to say that though the sight of a larger novel excited me, it was one of those books that could have been shortened. Or it could have more bang for its pages. The premise has been done before, but the spooky is a little different. The ship under the water has been missing, distress signals sent but never found. The main character and her crew have been hired to film and document signs of what happened to the ship. The age old question of missing ships… What happened? The book starts out with the main character, all describing they all need the pay day that comes with it. (The drive to complete the mission no matter the cost) and it does have sections where it flashes back to help explain what happened to the ship. The burrowing disease is a nice touch to add to the spookiness, and it makes sense in a ship where there isn’t really much spot to well die in comfort and familiar. In the end of course a happy ending as this writer tends to do, but it still leaves more to answer. Strange considering the length of the novel.
