Acerca de esta escucha
Fear is primal. Instinctive. Unavoidable. And right now, there is something you fear - and you can feel it. Creeping up behind you. Lurking in the darkness that lives under your bed, or in your closet. A nameless dread.
In Undercurrents: An Anthology of What Lies Beneath, 23 talented authors, including New York Times best sellers Kevin J. Anderson, Rebecca Moesta, and Jody Lynn Nye, have stood on the shores of their psyches and looked out over the ocean of possibility and wondered "What lies beneath?"
The sea creatures and sea monsters that answered their calls range from a giant kraken that rules the deepest ocean to the smallest puffer fish that creates intricate works of underwater art. Creatures of classic mythology - mermaids, sirens, and sea serpents - swim alongside more unusual beasts: underwater cats and singing whirlpools. These stories dive deep into the fears many of us face, including loss, abandonment, death, and physical, mental, or emotional danger. When the fears we keep buried beneath the surface rise up and threaten to consume, we must make a choice: conquer or be conquered.
The complete list of authors includes Lisa Mangum, Chris Barili, Kevin J. Anderson, Jody Lynn Nye, L. D. Colter, Mary Pletsch, Joy Dawn Johnson, Lauren A. Lang, Chris Mandeville, Terry Madden, Robert J. McCarter, Kristin Luna, Jessica Guernsey, Aubrey Pratt, Nancy D. Greene, C. H. Hung, Steve Pantazis, Melissa Koons, CJ Erick, Lee French, Gregory D. Little, and Rebecca Moesta.
This anthology is the fourth volume produced by the alumni of the Superstars Writing Seminar.

A Norwegian whaling ship is stranded in the Arctic, its crew threatened by mysterious forces. In the nineteenth century, a ship drifts in becalmed waters in the Indian Ocean, those on it haunted by their evil deeds. A surfer turned diver discovers there are things worse than drowning under the sea. Something from the sea is creating monsters on land.

I’m supposed to be the last of my kind, all-powerful, and marked by prophecy for greatness. But, something, somewhere, must have gone wrong, because I have no power or greatness. The prophecy must be about my sister, the only other living being with our kind's blood in her veins, but she's been in a magical sleep for eight years and is slowly turning to stone. I will do anything to save her, but the answers I need are inside Poseidon’s underwater palace. The fiercely powerful ocean god rules his realm with brutal efficiency, and nobody is ever allowed to get close to him.

Great Aquatic Short Stories
I loved the diversity of short stories contained in this collection! My favorite story was "Teens Teach Tech" by Terry Madden, I listened to this story twice. I thought that Charles Kahlenberg was a great narrator but I was not as happy with Carla Harkness, I felt her narration reading was too slow and lacked in a dramatization. Overall, there were some excellent stories and some that were not so great, but I have found this to be true with any short story collection that I have purchased. I do recommend this book to anyone thinking about buying it, I really enjoyed listening to it!

This is a delightful collection of stories. I loved the plethora of genres, from whimsical to diabolical and everything in between. And having two narrators was perfect.
