Heavy Oceans
by Tyler Jones

From Tyler Jones, author of MIDAS and BURN THE PLANS, one of Esquire’s Best Horror Books of 2022, comes a story of deep sea terror and cosmic horror.

Struggling with the pressures of being a new father and the weight of regrets, Jamie Fletcher travels to Hawaii in hopes of connecting with his estranged brother, Eric.

After a shocking act of violence, the brothers end up on a fishing boat–along with the captain and his son–in the middle of the ocean, where they encounter an uncanny and terrifying phenomenon that will signal a shift in the evolution of the world.

5 out of 5 fairies

A horror story that sneaks up on you, and by the time the real horrors arrive, you’re in too deep to stop reading. The story starts off innocently enough with some eerie events, and a murder, but once we move to the ocean, well, things get spine-tingling. Jones did a great job of drawing you in, and building up believable characters. The way things are described makes it easy to see everything unfolding before you, and even feel the tension and fear rolling off the pages. If you enjoy cosmic and supernatural horror, and find the ocean a dangerous place, you’re going to love the chills you get while reading this!
