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 .
Something is coming through..
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.
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.
Cannibalism.
Betrayal.
Abandonment.
But when the rescue mission becomes an uncanny journey into his past, Day must face up to the things he\'s done.
Perhaps this is Day\'s chance to restore his tarnished reputation by bringing Stevens----the man who\'s haunted his whole life--back home.
Thirteen years later, his second-in-command, Jesse Stevens, has gone missing in the same frozen waters.
But after a failed expedition, in which his remaining men only survived by eating their Dead comrades, he returned in disgrace.
William Day should be an acclaimed Arctic explorer.
