Ms Kat finished reading Ferryman by Justin Cronin

Ms Kat finished reading Tidepool by Nicole Willson
Yeah, this one wasn't great. Wouldn't recommend it. The writing is unpolished, the story goes on too long, and the perpetual gaslighting of the main character really got on my nerves.

Ms Kat commented on Tidepool by Nicole Willson
Ah, more clarity. It's horror, and the tentacles are a reference to the Deep Ones. Maybe not steampunk, just Edwardian.

I enjoyed this. It's a story written by a number of authors, who write a couple of chapters each. Obviously well edited too, as I didn't notice abrupt changes in style from chapter to chapter.
