Horror Aficionados discussion

Can anyone recommend any aquatic horror? Anything from deep sea to shallow pond lol. TIA!

I have a few for you. You can try these:

Thresher

Lords of the Deep

Subterrestrial

Night Of The Kraken

SCAR: A Deep Sea Thriller

Loch Ness Revenge

Floating Staircase
The Drowning Kind
They Rise

We should all be reading aquatic horror for the summer reading challenge. I'll include some I read (listened to) previously also.
The House Across the Lake
My Heart Is a Chainsaw
Salvage: A Ghost Story
Into the Drowning Deep

That's all I can remember for now. I plan to read more this summer.

OOh-- The House Across the Lake was excellent!

The Deep

I loved Into the Drowing Deep!

My Heart is a Chainsaw was so-so for me. I really enjoyed some parts but other parts kind of dragged. I LOVED the intro though.

This was a good one. Took some unexpected turns for sure and kept me on my toes.

I really enjoyed Cutter's The Troop. You should check it out if you haven't already.

Here's a few more I didn't even think about before:

The Loch?

The Black by Paul E Cooley

Dark Across The Bay by Ania Ahlborn

The aquatic element serves as the main tool of isolation in this island thriller.

I loved this one!

The Montauk Monster by Hunter Shea
This is one of my very favorite stories. Hunter Shea has written several horror novels based on famous creature legends. Montauk is at the southern tip of Long Island in the Hamptons. Off the coast is a small Island notorious for being a scientific research base creating mutations. A strange aquatic creature had washed up on the shores of Montauk said to have escaped. There are several pics of it abpnd its body has made the rounds.

It is a book to love.

here's a question to you beautiful people. is there an aquatic series with regular characters?
I need something to literally sink my teeth into for the long run lol

The Clickers series by J.F. Gonzalez

Jesus is your saviour. I think the first Clickers novel was pretty standalone, but after the second volume, it had recurring characters.

The first thing that comes to mind is the "MEG" series by Steve Alten. It runs for seven books, and the recurring character is a paleobiologist named Jonas Taylor.

It revolves around the sea and aquatic Cthulhu monsters and men.

Click the link above the text box that says "add book/author" and search for the book or author you're looking for. By clicking the radial buttons at the bottom of the pop-up window you can choose to hyperlink the name of the book or the cover image.

Our Wives Under the Sea

I don't think anyone mentioned this book yet. I just finished it and it was a pretty good debut novel. Definitely very aquatic.

Terror in the Trench: An Anthology of Aquatic Horror

A collection of aquatic horror short stories that I read recently

Dark Tides: A Charity Horror Anthology

Aquatic Horror...hmm..

Y'all, I'm currently reading the Blackwater series by Michael McDowell and it is outstanding! The Flood is the first book in the series.

I'm ordering 'The Complete Saga'. really looking forward to it! (getting the 'Elementals' too.

I just finished - doesn't take place in the water but there is creepy aquatic imagery!

A few others I've really enjoyed:




- aquatic adjacent, set on an island!

The Pike

This was almost turned into a movie with Joan Collins back in the '80s. They built a pretty impressive mechanical pike.

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant


I have a literal fear of the open ocean so this one hit home for me. Mystery and possible aquatic intelligence sign me up.

The story itself had a great overall pacing, recommend.

(On a Ship or Under the Ocean)
* Dead Sea by Tim Curran
* Pressure by Brian Keene
* Succulina by Philip Fracassi
* Cenote by Shaun Horton
* Into The Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

( Island/Beach Horror )
* Savages by Greg F. Gifune
* Relict by D.T. Neal
* The Forgotten Island by David Sodergren
* Lure by Tim McGregor
* Black Tide by K.C. Jones
* Reek by Bradley Freeman
* Cannibal Creator by Chad Lutzke
* The Survivors by Matthew Vaughn

I'm so excited for this month's picks! I LITERALLY added Our Wives Under the Sea yesterday and checked my notifications today to see it on there! I also have a phobia of water.. so this should be good.

Looks like a fun 😊 read????

Lure by McGregor is excellent.

From Below by Darcy Coates (I think this was mentioned earlier but no link. Pretty good.
Deck Z: The Titanic: Unsinkable. Undead.. This rocked. The Titanic and zombies, I am there!
