Beschreibung
From the acclaimed and award-winning author of The Hunger comes a haunting psychological twist on one of the world's most renowned tragedies, the sinking of the Titanic and the ill-fated sail of its sister ship, the Britannic.

Someone, or something, must be haunting the ship. Between mysterious disappearances and sudden deaths, the guests of the Titanic have found themselves suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone from the moment they set sail. Several of them, including maid Annie Hebley, guest Mark Fletcher, and millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, are convinced there's something sinister--almost otherwordly--afoot. But before they can locate the source of the danger, as the world knows, disaster strikes.

Years later, Annie, having survived that fateful night, 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. At first, Annie is thrilled and relieved to see he survived the sinking. But soon, Mark's presence awakens deep-buried feelings and secrets, forcing Annie to reckon with the demons of her past--as they both discover that the terror may not yet be over.

Brilliantly combining the supernatural with the height of historical disaster, The Deep is an exploration of love and destiny, desire and innocence, and, above all, a quest to understand how our choices can lead us inexorably toward our doom.

Zusammenfassung
BUILDING ON HARDCOVER BUZZ: The early reviews for The Deep have been wonderful, with a starred trade review, glowing early praise, and blurbs from authors such as Danielle Trussoni, Josh Malerman, C.J. Tudor, Michael Koryta, and more.

A LITERARY-HORROR SUPERSTAR: With the critical acclaim of The Hunger, Alma Katsu became one of the leading voices at the intersection of literary and horror writing. The Hunger was named one of The New York Times Book Review's Summer Reading Picks, one of NPR's Top 100 Horror Novels, a Best Book of the Year by Suspense Magazine, and more.

RICH, DETAILED HISTORY: Katsu does tremendous amounts of research for all of her writing, and this novel is full of specifics, both historical and paranormal, that capture the lush detail of the voyage, as well as the little-known history of the Britannic.

NEVERENDING FASCINATION WITH THE TITANIC: From the beloved 1997 film to the replica planned to set sail in 2022 and decades of investigation into the sinking, popular culture has been forever captivated by the Titanic and its shipwreck.

PERENNIAL GHOST STORY APPEAL: At its heart, The Deep is a haunting ghost story, a continual favorite among readers and in the tradition of bestsellers such as Sarah Waters and Rebecca. Katsu took intimate inspiration from these works, and used them for models on how to balance the fearful symmetry of the real and the supernatural.
