The Terror, a dense and fascinating book embellishing the mystery of Captain Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition in the arctic. I’d seen the show and had a hankering to rewatch it, but wanted to read the book first. I’ve been listening to John Lee’s reading for the last month or so.
It takes its time. Sporadically, expertly ratcheting the tension. The final 200 pages are a haunting and beautiful thing.
We also rewatched the show. It's great TV, but falls short of the grandiosity of Simmons' book
