About this audiobook

A haunted ship story that dispenses with traditional ghosts in favor of a creeping, dimensional dread. As the vessel travels through a mysterious fog, the crew realizes they are slowly slipping into a parallel reality inhabited by shadowy, carnivorous entities. The narrative builds tension through the gradual revelation that the ocean they know has been replaced by something far more alien and ancient. It is a claustrophobic masterpiece of cosmic horror that suggests there are boundaries the world should not cross.
