Something In the Water: A Deep Dive Into Aquatic Horrors
"This rabidly readable book plumbs the world's waters for our deepest fears and shows them to us — with insight, intelligence, and verve."

Daniel Kraus, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angel Down

"The film book you never know you needed — the most meticulously thorough deep dive into all things aquatic in the movies. A labor of love that draws you in and will find you coming back to over and over."

Johannes Roberts, director of 47 Meters Down, Primate
