When Jim's big brother Jack is released from prison, the brothers--along with their broken father and Jack's menacing best friend--decide to charter an ocean fishing boat to celebrate Jack's new freedom. Once the small crew is far out to sea, however, a mutant species rises from the deep abyssal darkness to terrorize the vessel and its occupants. As the horror of their situation becomes clear, the small group must find a way to fend off the attack and somehow, someway, return to safety; but as the strange parasitic creatures overrun them, they must use more extreme --and deadly -- measures to survive.

I'm absolutely terrified of the ocean and practically everything in it so this was a great horror read for me!
I enjoyed Fracassi's descriptive writing, it painted a crystal clear image in my head, I liked the imagery of the barnacles covering everything and the way it ate at flesh. I only wish I could've seen more!
This was just a really creepy novella. Doesn't say anything ground breaking but was a very enjoyable read. It could have been longer but didn't feel like it was missing anything at the same time. If you have a fear of the ocean already maybe skip this one.
