Synopsis
In Fear of the Deep, Julie Hiner plunges readers into the dark, uncharted waters of terror and suspense.
Bailey, a lifeguard with a heavy metal heart and a Jack Daniel's addiction, has long avoided the deep sea since a haunting accident. San Diego's sunny shores provide a façade of normalcy, where her nights are drowned in music and whiskey, and her days are spent keeping a safe distance from the ocean's grasp.
But the sea has a way of claiming what it wants. The discovery of a woman's body, marked by peculiar and familiar bite marks, washes up on her beach, forcing Bailey to confront the fears she's been running from. Deep beneath the waves, something sinister lurks, a nightmare born from genetic engineering gone awry. As Bailey delves deeper into the mystery, she finds herself entangled in a web of horror and science fiction, where sea creatures of the darkest depths become terrifyingly real.
With each tide, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, pulling Bailey into a psychological maelstrom. Her journey is not just a battle against the horrors emerging from the deep but a fight to overcome the demons within herself.
Fear of the Deep is not just a novel—it's a voyage into the heart of terror and the human psyche. It navigates the treacherous waters of horror suspense, sea stories, and genetic engineering science fiction, making it a perfect storm for fans of psychological thrillers and deep-sea adventures.
Are you brave enough to dive into the depths of Fear of the Deep? Hold your breath and plunge into this sea of suspense, where the darkest fears lie waiting beneath the surface.
