About this listen

And the water shall call them home.

A water-borne blight hits a small community on a remote Scottish island. The residents are a mix of island-born and newcomers seeking a slower life away from the modern world; all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. Some claim the illness may be a case of mass hysteria—or even a long-buried curse—but when ferry service fails and phone towers go down, inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal as the outwardly harmonious fabric of the community is irreversibly torn apart.

Dead Water is an atmospheric, suspenseful tale of folk horror and isolation within a small island community, from the author of A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World—perfect for fans of Midnight Mass and Pine.

Such a Disappointment After A Boy and His Dog

Unfortunately this novel plods along with way too much introspection and description, and there is no central impetus to move it along. I tried to care about the characters, but maybe there is too much pain, loss, and injury and not enough joy, and they didn't seem compelling to me. Late in the book [spoiler] it changes to horror, but it still clunks along and isn't thrilling somehow. I'll give the author another try since A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World was so wonderful.
