Container: A Journey Into Darkness
On the boundless canvas of the open sea, the Ozymandias , a colossal container ship, embarks on a harrowing voyage that transcends the realm of the living. Within its steel-clad walls, a malevolent trio converges—a vengeful Thai ghost, an African demon hungry to claim a long-indebted soul, and a tormented teenager haunted by the tragic demise of her mother.
As the Thai ghost seeks revenge for a horrifying betrayal, the African demon, owner of a sinister contract, casts its gaze on a soul aboard the Ozymandias —one it has paid for. Meanwhile, the devastated young woman, grappling with the haunting memories of her mother's untimely death, becomes a vessel for the unresolved anguish and rage that permeate the ship's corridors.
Will the Captain's science prevail over the supernatural forces at play? Will the American passengers' faith do the job? Will the Thai crew take control with their beliefs? Or will the Ozymandias become a watery graveyard for the damned?
Prepare for a pulse-pounding journey into the unknown, where the threads of vengeance, grief, and toxic secrets intertwine, threatening to unravel the fabric of reality itself.
"Container" will leave you questioning the very nature of perception, justice, and the lengths one will go to for redemption. Once the anchors are raised, there's no turning back—the ghosts of the past and the toxins of the present are ready to set sail.

I won this for free in a Goodreads drawing
To be upfront, I struggled a lot with the writing style for this. It jumped from character and scene without much break in between, and without seeming to end the previous scene. It felt disjointed. The story was there, and felt interesting, but the writing style impacted that for me, as it sort of took me out of the story when it abruptly transitioned. All in all, I did like the story, the very beginning was great, but it felt like it lost it's "oomph" towards the middle and end.

Awesome Ghost Story
An engrossing mix of ghost story, demonic possession, serial killer, exotic spirits, and cultures mix to create a unique work.
A complicated plot with multiple POVs comes together in the end in a satisfying way.
I read this again as it'd received a negative review, and I wanted to double-check it was as good as I remembered it. It was. There are bits that rival Stephen King for page-turners.
I am the author, but I read this for the first time in a long while, and I read as if it were not my own. It holds up.
Try it and see.

I really enjoyed this story!! The writing felt a little disjointed and unpolished, but the story was compelling and kept me engaged. It was a great ghost story, and I enjoyed the combination of different religions present to combat the ghosts. I also enjoyed learning some about ghosts/spirits prevalent in other cultures.

You can not contain this book.
Terrible. Poorly edited. Messy. Every character is somehow flat AND pathetic. For your own peace of mind skip it and never look back.
