What really happened on board of the Titanic?
Someone, or something, is haunting the ship. Between unexplained disappearances and eerie deaths, the guests of the Titanic—particularly maid Annie Hebley and guest Mark Fletcher—are convinced there’s something sinister afoot. But before they can unveil the danger that beckons them, disaster strikes.
Years later, Annie is working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic’s sister ship, the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship. When she happens across an unconscious Mark, now a soldier fighting in World War I, Annie is relieved to see he survived the sinking. But soon Mark’s presence awakens deep-buried secrets, a creeping darkness forcing Annie to reckon with the demons of her past—as they both discover the terror may not yet be over.

RE-READ 6/14/2020
i think i just had way too high expectations for this book. i re-read it with the hopes that it would be even better but it was just ok. alma katsu's books have concepts that i'm really interested in, but i think the presentation just falls flat with me
Sweet and thrilling. The ending did get me, I didn't see it coming exactly, but I was close. Worth a “spooky” read if you don't mind the switching between characters or time lines.
The Deep is a great historical fiction horror novel combining elements of gothic fiction with history to produce a chilling and compelling book. Alma Katsu (The Hunger) demonstrates her prowess as a researcher in this book, as well as her ability to write the supernatural. Unfortunately this latter element was somewhat diminished by the book's pacing. I think this novel could have been 50-100 pages shorter and been even more effective. I wanted more dread. More fear. It wasn't really scary. Still, The Deep was a great book with winning prose and a historical feel that's sure to delight readers interested in a gothic tale on the sinking of the Titanic.
