From the acclaimed and award-winning author of The Hunger comes a haunting psychological twist
on one of the world's most famous tragedies: the sinking of the Titanic and the ill-fated sail
of its sister ship the Britannic. Someone or something must be haunting the ship. Between
mysterious disappearances and sudden deaths the guests of the Titanic have found themselves
suspended in an eerie unsettling twilight zone from the moment they set sail. Several of them
including maid Annie Hebley guest Mark Fletcher and millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin
Guggenheim are convinced there's something sinister almost otherwordly afoot. But before they
can locate the source of the danger as the world knows disaster strikes. Years later Annie
having survived that fateful night is working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's
sister ship the Britannic newly refitted as a hospital ship. There she happens across an
unconscious Mark now a soldier fighting in World War I. At first Annie is thrilled and
relieved to see he survived the sinking. But soon Mark's presence awakens deep-buried feelings
and secrets forcing Annie to reckon with the demons of her past as they both discover that the
terror may not yet be over. Brilliantly combining the supernatural with the height of
historical disaster The Deep is an exploration of love and destiny desire and innocence and
above all a quest to understand how our choices can lead us inexorably toward our doom.
