“The call of the void.” is mentioned and it sent shivers down my spine because it made me reminisce on my readings of The Call of Cthulhu. The ocean calls out to passengers in a way that I feel very much encapsulates Lovecraft’s writing style. The Deep feels more Lovecraftian at first and less horrifying than The Hunger. I’m going to start by saying that I really enjoyed this novel and it was honestly a lot different than The Hunger. Annie finds herself infatuated with a passenger aboard the Titanic named Mark and his infant daughter Ondine, but what she doesn’t know is that past and present will wind together in an eerie and earth-shattering way. The story flashes between the times on the Titanic and times on the Brittanic both of which carry secrets and deception at each turn. The Deep is mostly about a young woman named Annie who is a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic and finds herself aboard the Brittanic, the hospital ship for those wounded in World War I. In The Deep, Alma Katsu the author of previously reviewed The Hunger, explores both tragedies and connects them in a ghostly manner. Is there any other event in history as ironically tragic as the sinking of both the Titanic and Bittanic? Sister ships destined to the same watery grave.
