About this ebook
Afraid of the dark? You should be ... Part horror, part psychological nightmare, The Deep by Nick Cutter is a novel fans of Stephen King and Clive Barker won't want to miss.
A plague is destroying the world's population. The 'Gets makes people forget. First it's the small things, like where you left your keys ... then the not-so-small things, like how to drive. And finally your body forgets how to live.
But now an unknown substance with extraordinary power to heal has been discovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Nicknamed ambrosia, it might just be the miracle cure the world has been praying for.
A research lab has been established eight miles below the sea's surface, but all contact with the team has been lost. Dr Luke Nelson's brother is down there and as desperation for a cure outweighs common sense, he agrees to descend through the lightless fathoms ... perhaps to face an evil blacker than anything he could have imagined.

This book had me physically recoil at times, it's so vivid. I love me a good lovecraftian isolation horror- and I've experienced three nightmares the three days it took me to finish this book. I can already feel another one coming, and I say this with excitement. I found the ending half-satisfying at first, but after thinking on it for a while I found it good. I don't know why I feel inclined to only give it 4 stars, but there's a voice within me telling me to. A very enjoyable, scary and haunting story all-together!

An interesting premise utterly ruined by an over use of horror tropes, moronic behaviour and unnecessary flash back page padding. Avoid.
