Sacculina

By: Philip Fracassi

Narrated by: A.J. Carter

When Jim's big brother Jack is released from prison, the brothers - along with their broken father and Jack's menacing best friend - decide to charter an ocean fishing boat to celebrate Jack's new freedom. Once the small crew is far out to sea, however, a mutant species rises from the deep abyssal darkness to terrorize the vessel and its occupants. As the horror of their situation becomes clear, the small group must find a way to fend off the attack and somehow, someway, return to safety; but as the strange parasitic creatures overrun them, they must use more extreme - and deadly - measures to survive.

A fishing trip gone wrong

This seafaring tale of a fishing trip gone wrong was absolutely brilliant! Character driven and tension-filled throughout, with terrifying circumstances you don’t have to be a fisherman to appreciate. Fracassi never disappoints with his masterful ability to weave a story together. The narration by Carter fit the story perfectly and really added to the intensity. I highly recommend this one!

Good performance

A quick story that does a good job setting the tone and building tension. Well read also.

Gripping! I really enjoyed this story. Very creepy

Sea life gone mutant. I would have liked more back story on the marine life; cause and effect... The man was infected in the end, right? Kinda of a cliffhanger in the end. However, i felt the story was very good overall. Great performance

A short horror on the sea

For a short horror story that is a 'one and done', this one is alright. I'm glad I got it on sale, as it's only about 2 hours. The characters were believable enough and the reader was alright. I wanted a nautical scary story, and this was enough to sate the craving.

Now I'm scared of barnacles?

The story itself is really great, but I wish it were longer and more detailed.
