Description
An eerie, atmospheric Polar Gothic following a Victorian explorer in search of his lost shipmate and his own redemption—from the author of the “vivid, immersive” (The Guardian) horror novel All the White Spaces.
William Day should be an acclaimed Arctic explorer. But after a failed expedition, in which his remaining men only survived by eating their dead comrades, he returned in disgrace.
Thirteen years later, his second-in-command, Jesse Stevens, has gone missing in the same frozen waters. Perhaps this is Day’s chance to restore his tarnished reputation by bringing Stevens—the man who’s haunted his whole life—back home. But when the rescue mission becomes an uncanny journey into his past, Day must face up to the things he’s done.
Abandonment. Betrayal. Cannibalism.
Aboard ship, Day must also contend with unwanted passengers: a reporter obsessively digging up the truth about the first expedition, as well as Stevens’s wife, a spirit-medium whose séances both fascinate and frighten. Following a trail of cryptic messages, gaunt bodies, and old bones, their search becomes more and more unnerving, as it becomes clear that the restless dead are never far behind. Something is coming through.

Not worth the credit
Oh man. I wanted to like this book so badly. It's a perfect storm of everything I would typically love, but it just didn't pan out. Maybe it was the quality of the audiobook I listened to--the narrator had very obviously gone back and re-recorded bits and pieces of sentences, and the completely different sound really threw me off. If I had read a print copy, who knows, maybe the characters would have been easier to keep straight, maybe I could have tracked the time jumps better. Overall, it was clunky as hell, and any atmosphere the author built up was quickly brought down by weird pacing and unreliable narration--which, in a character? Great. Love that. In an actual audiobook narrator? The absolute worst. Blech.
