They Cling to the Hull (Horror Lurks Beneath)

By: Ben Farthing

A cruise vacation becomes a fight for survival and sanity... Riley boards the cruise ship Aria with plans to steal her inheritance back from her wealthy uncle. But this isn't the Aria from the brochure. It's been replaced. The hallways bend in on themselves in impossible ways. Monstrous threats creep out of the off-limits Deck Two. And a stranger claims this has all happened before, in a skyscraper that appeared overnight. Riley must survive the haunted ship and solve its mysteries, or the Aria will claim her soul forever. They Cling to the Hull is the terrifying sequel to It Waits on the Top Floor , from the "unhinged imagination" of "one hell of a writer" (Shirley Jackson Award winner Daryl Gregory). This series is meant to be read in numerical order.

Customer Reviews

Same vibe and energy as the first book

This book picks up about a year after "It Waits on the Top Floor" and is just as strange as its predecessor. Instead of a building popping up overnight, it's a cruise ship, which makes Chris' job that much more difficult. At least he has some help this time. I'm really liking this series and I hope the last book holds the same energy these two have. While's there somewhat less space to cover in this book, there's a little less of the action and horror aspect, but the dread and anxiety for the reader of why what needs to be done needs to be done is that much more prominent. There are a handful of errors; wrong words, misspells, etc, nothing overly drastic, but noticeable nonetheless. I give this book 4 of 5 Paws and can't wait to dive into the final book.
