From Below

De: Darcy Coates

Narrado por: Abby Craden

No light. No air. No escape.

Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface, a graveyard waits. Years ago, the SS Arcadia vanished without a trace during a routine voyage. Though a strange, garbled emergency message was broadcast, neither the ship nor any of its crew could be found. Sixty years later, its wreck has finally been discovered more than three hundred miles from its intended course: a silent graveyard deep beneath the ocean's surface, eagerly waiting for the first sign of life.

Cove and her dive team have been granted permission to explore the Arcadia's rusting hull. Their purpose is straightforward: examine the wreck, film everything, and, if possible, uncover how and why the supposedly unsinkable ship vanished. But the Arcadia has not yet had its fill of death, and something dark and hungry watches from below. With limited oxygen and the ship slowly closing in around them, Cove and her team will have to fight their way free of the unspeakable horror now desperate to claim them.

From Below

This book kept me engage and entertain with spooky vibes from deep under the cold sea.

Good spooky dive story

As a diver myself, I enjoyed this story! I thought the performance could’ve been better but didn’t take away from the book.

Ghost ship mystery

This book had everything you could want from a ghost ship story. Lots of surprises and a fun mystery to puzzle out.

Do you ever just scream?

Do you ever just scream at characters in a book saying, "Are you kidding me?? Stop doing that! You absolute pack of fools!" Well, this will have you yelling all of that and more. A band of scuba divers who apparently crave their early departures from life make several trips to a Bad Place and interact with Bad Things. Claustrophobia, deep water, forces from beyond and a very fun parallel backstory make this a read that I'll return to on a sunny day well above sea level.

Loved it

Beautifully done all around. Ghost ship with a twist will leave you wanting more stories like this one.

So so good

This was my first Darcy Coates and I was so into this story! I wasn't sure if it was the deep ocean creating hallucinations, a haunting, a monster, a curse, or something unknown and it kept me guessing till the end. I loved the parallel timelines where we got to see into the past and walk through the final days that led up to the sinking that the current timeline is diving at. Great audio book, definitely recommend.

Tense

Terrifying, and now I have new fears about diving! I'll leave the light on tonight!

Good Psycho-Thriller/Horror

Didn't quite realize what I was getting into when I started this one! It was enjoyable from start to finish, didn't lag when it needed to take a minute to educate you on deep water diving or ecology. And the adventures didn't end at all how I'd thought it would.....

creepy as Hell

atmospheric, claustrophobic and down right creepy. I was wowed by this one. one of the scariest books that I've ever read

Another great story by Darcy Coates

I’ve read a handful of Coates books and they’re always so well written and interesting. Thought not my favorite by her, it was still a great listen and she continues to be one of my favorite authors.
