The Terror
The Terror: A Novel | Dan Simmons
"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a turbocharged vision of popular doom." -Men's Journal Greeted with excited critical praise, this extraordinary novel-inspired by the true story of two ice ships that disappeared in the Arctic Circle during an 1845 expedition-swells with the heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure that have won Dan Simmons praise as "a writer who not only makes big promises but keeps them" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). THE TERROR chills readers to the core. "Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, THE TERROR is a masterfully chilling work." -Entertainment Weekly "In the hands of a lesser writer than Dan Simmons, THE TERROR might well have dissolved into a series of frigid days and three-dog nights. But Simmons is too good a writer to ignore the real gold in his story-its beleaguered cast." -Bookpage "Guaranteed to have readers pulling their covers up to their noses, THE TERROR will make for a blood-freezing, bedtime read this winter-and any season thereafter." -Pages

4/5 ⭐️ Enjoyed this freezing adventure in the Arctic Circle. The Tuunbaq parts were my favorite, a great way to take a factual expedition and mix it with a horrendous beast similar to those in Inuit mythology to create a historical fictional horror.

There's always something about these types of “expedition gone wrong“ stories that's sadly fascinating to me. They are so tragic and hopeless, but the indomitable human spirit really shines through. I enjoyed most of the book, though I am not a fan of racial slurs being used, even if it's “accurate“

Doppoetry It also makes me wonder how often native people have to put up with white people being underprepared and outright stupid. Always having to come to the Dumb White People\'s rescue, but at the same time being painted as savages and called slurs and generally being disrespected. 2mo

I literally cannot believe I slogged through this doorstop. Blergh.

I love a good history mystery. Polar explorers - two gigantic ships full no less - who disappear without a trace for almost 200 years? Yes, please.

I also love the random minutiae of arctic explorers in the 1840s - what clothing did they wear, what food did the ships store, what technological innovations did the ships have?

These minor cool things can‘t save this snoozefest.

“The Terror” is my second Simmons book, and I had a similar experience reading this as when I read “Drood.” I flew through the first 200 pages, life got busy, and it took me 6 months to finish 😬 I enjoyed learning about the Franklin Expedition and the supernatural aspect, but the story felt off balance. I‘m not sure if more history or more horror would have helped.

Okay, I've put this off for months, so I think it's time to officially bail on this one. 18%. It's just not for me. Super long-winded, very dull backstory. Every time I think of picking it up again I just can't bring myself to do it. The parts about the monster or whatever it will turn out to be just aren't worth the rest.

PageShifter Wise move! Sometimes those books that you are keeping on your currently reads -pile should goes through. And you never know if there is going to be better time to give it one more chance but it might be easier to start from the beginning then. 3y
kplovesbooks @PageShifter Exactly. It was on my Kindle, so I just moved it over to my "probably will never finish" folder...just in case I ever decide to go back to it. ? 3y

This is a mix of survival, historical fiction, and (some) horror. The horror (the “thing” out there), I found was minimal. The focus was on the survival aspect. The book is very long, and I had a hard time getting interested until the last 1/3 of the book. I wasn‘t able to keep straight who “belonged‘ on which ship. The end was a bit vague in a couple of cases, I thought. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin Descriptions of the ships and workings of the ships were less interesting to me. A bit horrifying, but more interesting was the description of what happens as someone develops scurvy. Anyone looking for horror, though, this didn‘t fit the bill. 3y

Sir John Franklin and Captain Crozier, with 135 men, make an ill fated attempt to find the northwest passage in the Arctic north. Their ships became trapped in the ice and they are never heard from again. This is where fact becomes fiction as something sinister begins to hunt them, one by one. I greatly enjoyed The Terror, but I listened to the abridged version. I think I would have DNF‘d the longer version based on other reviews.

I finally finished this chunkster Tuesday night and it was well worth my time. Simmons‘ creates a slow burn horror novel fictionalizing John Franklin‘s lost 1845 expedition to finish navigating the Northwest Passage in the Arctic. We join the crews of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror as they have already been trapped in ice for a year. There is much to fear as there is no thaw in sight, rations are dwindling, men are becoming mutinous, and there is ⬇️

Bookzombie something on the ice killing them. The story is told through alternating POVs and a few flashbacks. Even with a number of characters, I was invested and upset a few times while I read or listened to this book. I definitely enjoyed it. #BookspinBingo 4y
cathysaid Excellent description 👍 4y
Bookzombie Currently we are experiencing abnormally cold temperatures in San Antonio and I cannot help but think about the real men who tried to survive negative degree temperatures on this and the many other expeditions to the Arctic.🥶 Even after reading multiple nonfiction books where people set off into extreme temperatures and situations, I just can‘t understand why people do it. 4y

The agency I work for had a Covid vaccine clinic & I was outside assisting with it for a good portion of the day last Thursday and Friday. It was around 0 degrees both days & I couldn't help but think of the part in Terror where he describes it being so cold that the enamel of their teeth breaks 😬😂 BTW if you haven't watched it the amc adaptation was good 4y

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would initially. Historical fiction isn't normally my thing but the terror element helped me to get into this one more. It was a slow starter for me with the flashback POVs in the beginning being a bit of a slog but once things started to really get going I was hooked. Crozier by far was my favorite and I think that was by design.

At 955 pages, this was a biggie to read. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the journey. I suffered and cried with these sailors and overall enjoyed it. A lot of boat and sailing terms I will never understand though. The very ending took a very weird turn, but it was creative. It possibly could have been trimmed by about 200 pages.

I think my Halloween aesthetic comes down to atmosphere. I love slow burn psychological horror books that are all about evoking a sense of unease and dread...especially with supernatural elements thrown in. These three books are among my favorites, although I am also quite fond of ghost stories. I don‘t seek out gore on purpose, but somehow all three of my chosen books have...a bit. 🙈

I came to Simmons late, via a friend‘s recommendation. Wow. He‘s better than King, stylistically: what I‘d call a ‘writer‘s writer‘. If you‘re ever tempted to take a foray into novel writing you could do a lot worse than start here. Accomplished, slow burning and dripping with dread, The Terror is hands down one of the best horror books I‘ve ever read.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Simmons does just about everything well. His horror books are horrifying (check out Summer of Night and A Winter Haunting if you haven‘t) and his science fiction series, the Hyperion Cantos, is one of the best SF works of all time. 4y
Mistermandolin Thanks for the recommendations! He‘s an author I‘ve been meaning to follow up for a while. 4y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Have you watched the series based on this book? It was good! (Have to just accept the extreme fictionalization of the Franklin NWP disaster, but it makes for a good story) I‘ve wanted to delve into Simmons for a while! 4y

Mistermandolin @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I wanted to watch it but I didn‘t have access to the channel it was on. I will hunt out the DVD now that you‘ve recommended it. Thanks! Simmons did a great job with his fictionalisation. The Franklin expedition itself was chilling with a kind of eerie conclusion to it so I guess he had fertile material to work with from the start. A great writer. I intend to read more by him. 4y
Ephemera I loved this book! Now you should read Michael Palin‘s book EREBUS, about the other ship that was on that expedition. I think both the Terror and the Erebus have now been located underwater. 4y
Mistermandolin @Ephemera I‘ve been meaning to check that out for a while. I enjoy Palin‘s writing immensely and find the whole expedition fascinating. I believe you‘re right - both ships have now been found. I guess there‘s a potentially terrifying novel about what would happen if some members of the expedition were found. ‘Alive‘, I mean...

This is a very long (900+ pages) and highly researched/detailed slow burn of a horror novel. You will join John Franklin‘s (real) lost arctic expedition as they fall victim to relentless isolation, extreme cold, disease, and starvation... along with a bit of supernatural horror for good measure.

Inspired by true events, the doomed Franklin expedition searching for a Northwest passage, the book manages to perfectly combine the awful reality of those men with a terrifying supernatural element that enhances the sense of doom and terror throughout the story. Though it could use some heavy editing (there‘re some really problematic aspects, not just length-wise), it keeps an alert pace and the pages fly by. It‘s a gutwrenching & haunting story.

You will likely enjoy this. Eventually you may start to question, as I did, whether it really needed to be quite so long. Dan Simmons is a smart, enaging novelist and the book is meticulously researched. It is loads of intense, gory fun. But there is a leaner, meaner novel hiding inside it. The end of the book was creative and unexpected, but I don't find indigenous religious beliefs more convincing than any others.
