It is Event Horizon, but 8 miles below the ocean’s surface. If I had to describe it quickly, The Deep is aquatic horror meets Lovecraftian convergence of otherworldly things. This combines elements of the other two novels of his I have read, as it does body horror and ancient unfathomable evil equally. Knowing I would enjoy it, I grabbed The Deep on a trip to Barnes and Noble. His pages are packed full of detail, while being so bleak and hopeless at the same time. Cutter has become a favorite author of mine over the last year, as his style is written so viscerally. I picked this up after reading Nick Cutter’s other two books The Troop and Little Heaven, both absolutely terrifying and phenomenal books. What follows is a claustrophobic, dark look at the limits of the human psyche, isolationism, and how the planet we live on holds secrets much more ancient and evil than we can fathom. After months, the station stops communicating and two people are dispatched to find out what has happened. Following a global outbreak of a disease that makes people forget things until their bodies stop functioning, a team of scientists are dispatched to the bottom of the Mariana’s Trench to study a potential cure.
