1 post | 1 read
Fourteen-year-old Eric Ross is struggling. His father is in prison for murder. His mother has slipped into addiction. Even if he can survive the bullying and the sudden run of disappearances, he has little hope for a future outside of the sleepy Massachusetts fishing town he calls home.But there is something far more important on his mind.He found her down beneath the local entertainment pier, and she seems just about perfect. Except for the teeth. But she doesn't want to simply be a part of his world. She wants more...From the author of These Things Linger and The Eater of Gods, Down Into the Sea is a vicious twist on coming-of-age horror, on the unyielding, transformative power of desire, and the dangers of standing in its path.

I really enjoyed this, though it was so sad. The despair and hopelessness are the true horror. And I get it‘s a horror version of the little mermaid, but some of it was so representative of that that it took me out (Ursula, Ariel, the dinglehopper I mean fork, etc). But the story itself is great.
