Drift into a sargasso of horror in this survival journal recounting the stranding of a ship's crew in a desolate, weed-choked seascape. The survivors must contend with monstrous "weed men," giant mollusks, and the crushing psychological weight of a silent, alien environment. The archaic, formal style of the narration enhances the feeling of authenticity and dread, grounding the fantastic elements in a gritty reality. It is a claustrophobic masterpiece of sea terror that explores the vulnerability of man against the unknown of the deep.
