New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant takes us on a terrifying journey into the unknown where human frailty meets the awesome power of nature and myths come to life.

"A claustrophobic, deep-sea terror tale that will leave readers glad to be safely on dry land." -Kirkus Reviews

"Absolutely delivers on beastly terror." -Vulture

The ocean is home to many myths ... some are deadly ...

Seven years ago the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a mockumentary bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a tragedy.

Now a new crew has been assembled. But this time they're not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life's work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost.

Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the waves.

But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Grant's heady brew of visceral horror, fascinating science, and, of course, the hubris of mankind in the face of the awesome unknown is irresistible. A claustrophobic, deep-sea terror tale that will leave readers glad to be safely on dry land."—Kirkus
"Absolutely delivers on beastly terror.... Best-selling author Mira Grant is one of today's best horror authors, and Into the Drowning Deep takes its place among her best work."—Vulture
"Will unnerve and enthrall even seasoned horror fans. . . Mira Grant masterfully ratchets the tension up and down, holding readers firmly in her grip."—BookPage
"Grant's skillfully crafted story combines science, horror, and mystery into a gripping novel of terror on the sea."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Utterly terrifying."—RT Book Reviews
"Entertained and enraptured from the first page to the last."—Bookriot
"Engrossing and adrenaline-fueled"—Shelf Awareness
"A U.S. presidential campaign set in a zombie-infested future bears an eerie resemblance to the way we live now. Simply jump in and enjoy ... a whip-smart thriller overflowing with sharp ideas and social commentary."—Kirkus (starred review) on Feedback
"Astonishing ... a fascinating exploration of the future."—New York Times on Newsflesh series
"While there's plenty of zombie mayhem, political snark, and pointedly funny observations here, the heart of this book is about human relationships, which are still the most important thing in the world...even in a world where you might have to shoot the person you love most in the head, just to stop them from biting off your face."—Locus on Feed
"Feed is a proper thriller with zombies. Grant doesn't get carried away with describing her world or the virus. She's clearly thought both out brilliantly, but she doesn't let it get in the way of a taut, well written story."—SFX on Feed
"The story starts with a bang as corruption, mystery, danger and excitement abound."—RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars) on Feed
"Gripping, thrilling, and brutal... Shunning misogynistic horror tropes in favor of genuine drama and pure creepiness, McGuire has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters who conduct a soul-shredding examination of what's true and what's reported."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Feed
"Intelligent and intense, a thinking-person's post-apocalyptic zombie thriller set in a fully-realized future that is both fascinating and horrifying to behold."—John Joseph Adams on Feed
"I can't wait for the next book."—N.K. Jemisin on Feed
"It's a novel with as much brains as heart, and both are filling and delicious."—The A. V. Club on Feed

it was an appealing theme but the switching POVs took me out of it a little. Some characters were a bit two dimensional, like the 2 hunters and the ex boyfriend. Some others were more interesting like Theo and Tory. Also it seemed like it ended right on the climax, after they had that big discovery about the female creature it jumped right into the epilogue, no resolution and follow up with the main survivors.

Interesting premise, execution lacks depth

Really interesting take on real life mermaids. If you like the TV show Sirens, you're gonna like this.

Very good!

Brilliant, thrilling tale of human survival and curiosity. With a perfect balance of hope, loss and true connection between characters I found it extremely hard to stop reading

Absolutely Incredible

One of my new favourite horror books. INTO THE DROWNING DEEP is tense, thrilling, smart, unique, and a bloody good time. It is a perfect blend of horror and the supernatural, with a believable cast of characters and some truly terrifying creature designs. I was hooked from beginning to end.

The story follows a research team as they sail to the Mariana Trench in search of mermaids. On arriving, the team swiftly learns that these creatures are more dangerous than they could possibly have been prepared for.

There is a large cast with many characters, each of whom have different personalities to remain distinct, and I felt that they were given the right amount of depth. Not everyone was given an abundance of page time, but everyone felt like a real person. And the slower beginning allowed me to connect with the cast and care about them.

I loved the blend of science, ASL, and research. I love books that entertain as well as educate. The prose and plot were solid enough that nothing felt out of place or overbearing. There were a few moments near the end that could have been tightened or expanded on, but I was so entertained and tense that I still enjoyed every moment. Mira Grant was inventive in her plot, making it impossible to predict anything that would happen.

If you're a fan of the Alien movies and horror stories set in the ocean, this book is perfect for you. It's exciting, has high stakes, a good cast, and is incredibly smart. One of my favourite books of the year, and one of my favorite horror novels!

Intelligent and Tense
