This is a great book if you're looking for atmosphere and slow build. It's a very weird kind of horror. While the book is horrifying, it's in a very sad, hopeless way. I loved experiencing it.

However, this is one of those books that is vague with details, drags on some parts of the story while it rushes the others. You will have some unanswered questions, but I think it is intentionally so to keep this atmosphere. 

Beautiful writing, and short digestable chapters. I came for deep sea horror but stayed for the dreadful disquiet.
