Kharon’s Ferry
Over and over, he relived it in his mind…or was it in his dreams?
Where was he?
An empty ship, adrift in the desert sea. Golden lights, shimmering pools, sweet music, and fine drink. Immovable, inexplicable. No crew, no captain, and no passengers…or so it seems.
A beautiful woman, enchanting and irresistible. Champagne toasts, mornings under the sun, and nights beneath the stars. A haunting enigma: the allure of indescribable beauty, the dread of the unfathomable unknown.
A sinister secret, lurking just below the surface. A dark shadow in clear, tropical water. Something beyond reason. Something beyond understanding. Something inhuman.
A thalassaphobic psychological horror story by EM Levine
Dark water—deep, endless, abyssal—horrifying, paralyzing—full of the unknown. Full of mysteries.
Dark water…where monsters dwelled.
Summary
Jackson Lloyd, victim and sole survivor of a tragedy at sea, wakes to find himself rescued and aboard a mysterious cruise ship: the Odyssey. Though initially terrified at its apparent desertedness, he quickly encounters the ship’s only other passenger: the eccentric, enchanting woman who calls herself Calypso. As Jackson comes to learn more of her, and of the luxurious vessel, a life of carefree finery beckons to him. Still, through it all, something lurks in the back of his mind: the nagging suspicion that despite all Calypso’s irresistible allure, something is deeply, deeply wrong aboard the Odyssey. Resolving to discover the truth for himself, Jackson soon uncovers a dark, sinister plot woven by an unimaginable foe, a plot in which the loss of his life is the least of his concerns.
