"From the acclaimed author of The Troop--which Stephen King raved "scared the hell out of me and I couldn't put it down....old-school horror at its best"--comes this utterly terrifying novel where The Abyss meets The Shining. A strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget--small things at first, like where they left their keys...then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily...and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered--a universal healer, from initial reports. It may just be the key to a universal cure. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But now the station is incommunicado, and it's up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths...and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine. Part horror, part psychological nightmare, The Deep is a novel that fans of Stephen King and Clive Barker won't want to miss--especially if you're afraid of the dark"--… (altro)

Shocking and utterly depressing horror.

Not normally my cup of tea, but I was intrigued by the plague that was destroying the normal lives of humans worldwide. It was causing people to forget things and eventually they forgot to breathe and died. Searching for a cure, scientists have gone to the deepest part of the ocean to study a substance that has been found that they hope will help.

A veterinarian, Lucas (Like) Nelson, receives a message that the deep-sea station 8 miles below has gone dark and the scientists there incommunicado. His brother, the brilliant Dr. Clayton Nelson wants him and is down there in the Trieste working with two other men on their discovery. Luke is meant to go down and find out what is going on. He will soon be very sorry he did.

This was crazy descriptive with all kinds of hideousness. I recommend no one read this alone, late at night, without all the lights on. I both listened to the audiobook and read along, and all the icky stuff is within. The dreams are nightmares, and the waking experiences mostly match. it was all quite too much, and I kept going hoping that something good would come of it.

I ended up being a bit disappointed because the whole plague thing fizzled out and was never really part of the plot in the end. Every type of grossness imaginable in this book.

Thanks to the publisher for the e-book and I got the audio version from the library. The narrator was quite apt with the voices and the many different sounds and noises. ( )

i just sat on my couch for like 6 hours straight finishing this in record time because something about the way nick cutter writes just absolutely grips me and won't let go until i'm finished. this gave me annihilation and life (2017) and event horizon vibes. fucked me all the way UP!!!!!!!!!! also mr. cutter answer for your crimes of not letting LB live :( rip to a real one ( )

This book...was a wild ride. I was really into the kind of spooky vibe it had in the first half, with some weird stuff happening here and there. Towards the end though, after section 4 or 5 I think, it got SUPER weird, like, did I accidently take a drug weird. I don't know how to process the ending, in fact I hated the ending, it could have gone so many other ways but it chose the weirdest possible thing it could have done. I just don't know what to do about it. Also I don't like what happened to Alice. ( )

I’m not sure why, almost half way through, I still simply cannot fall into this book. It’s not as though it suffers from lousy writing, and it’s action-packed, and it’s giving plenty of information about the primary characters and their personalities and histories. And maybe that’s the problem – the problem of Too Much. Whether the MC is interacting with other characters or reflecting on past events or dreaming of his son or wife or strange other things or actually doing and experiencing something, it’s all horror. Awful things in his mind, awful things in his dreams, awful things in real life. This book is giving me horror fatigue. And there’s waaaaaay too much exposition.

Anyway, I’m DNFing at 44% after 5 ½ hours of listening, but I’m not going to give it a one star rating, as I ordinarily do for DNF books, because it’s possible or even likely that I’m just not in the mood. It’s not you, book, it’s me. We need time apart with others.

Brilliantly told tale. I thought initially that this is just another zombie / end of the world story, but it was a refreshing take on the 'what-if' scenario. Loved the story until the dog dies, then I was thinking, 'Well, screw that, now everyone can just die.' and almost, almost put the book down. ( )
