A one-stop look into the popular genre of aquatic horror, blending film, literature, pop culture, legend, and modern-day stories. Humans are absolutely fascinated by the water, the creatures that live in it, the unrelenting power of its destructive force, and the unexplored nature of it. From our earliest campfire legends to our biggest blockbuster movies, our world has been filled with stories of what is hidden below, each period and culture crafting their own version of mermaid tales, fishing folklore, sea monsters, and flood legends. In Something in the Water, horror experts Lisa Kroger, Alyse Wax, and Rebekah McKendry offer a fun and irreverent look at our vast history of aquatic horror. From Greek mythology to kaijus to Lovecraft to Shark Week, this book is a wild and light-hearted trip to our deepest, darkest nightmares. Each chapter is divided into subsections presenting all aspects of aquatic horror ranging from real-life oddities, ghost stories, legend based on facts, to our more contemporary media portrayals like comic books, fiction, movies, and television. Something in the Water offers all horror fans a deep dive into our cultural obsession with aquatic horror, chronicling the nightmarish mysteries of the deep.
