About this ebook
'Utterly terrifying' Clive Barker
Humanity is doomed: A strange plague is decimating humanity on a global scale. At first you forget little things, like where you left your keys. Then bigger things, like how to drive. Finally, your body forgets how to live. There is no cure.
One last hope: Something that just might save humanity has been discovered . . . deep beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea's surface.
But terrible things hide in the dark: And then the station goes quiet. Lucas Nelson's brother is trapped down there, and now Lucas has to go down into the lightless fathoms and find out what happened. Because if he doesn't . . . everyone on earth will die.
But there are worse ways to die than simply forgetting how to live . . . as Lucas is about to find out.
Are you afraid of the dark? You will be.

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.

I was teetering between 4 and 5 stars, but the second dog clinched it.
