From Below

The SS Arcadia vanishes on a routine voyage, and all it leaves behind is a garbled distress call. Sixty years on, a wreck turns up on the floor of the Baltic Sea, more than three hundred miles from the ship's course, silent and intact.

Documentary filmmaker Cove Waimarie gathers a mixed team of divers to go down to the hull, film it and learn at last what happened to the crew. The dive is meant to answer a question that has stood for decades.

The ship has other plans. As Cove and her team push deeper into the flooded, groaning wreck, their oxygen runs low and the passages seem to tighten around them. Something dark and patient begins to stir in the water with them.

The book is an underwater horror novel, and it keeps to tight, claustrophobic spaces. A second thread runs alongside the dive: a countdown through the Arcadia's last days in 1928, as the people aboard are driven toward madness. Expect dread that builds in confined, dark water, with little room to breathe.
