A couple of books by author Michael Cole are deep sea horror thrillers:

Scar and Thresher

Also this one is good by Mark L'estrange:

Night Of The Kraken

Then if you would like to read a haunted story that is set out in the sea there is this one by Darcy Coates:

From Below

Elizabeth (elizabethlk) | 23 comments I'm a big fan of Rolling in the Deep and Into the Drowning Deep, which is deep sea mermaid horror/sci fi.

Lupe Dominguez (lupedominguez) | 188 comments for a beach trip?!?! GUUURL (gn) you crazy! haha but what about the classic Jaws

Andrew  | 51 comments The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft.

Eileen (horror_bisexual) | 28 comments You could go with a classic like Jaws or you could go with a different (and in my opinion better) Peter Benchley book called White Shark

The Deep by Nick Cutter

The Sphere by Michael Crichton

Or maybe something kinda goofy like Meg or The Loch

Ah I linked to Tim Curran but should have mentioned his name. One of these days I might try the Brian Keene book as well.

The classic! Also a somewhat shorter dose of sea horror, if you're pressed for time but just need the vibe.
