THE TERROR

I am on about page 375 of an almost 800 page novel called THE TERROR by Dan Simmons. GOD! This book is so good that I have to make myself put it down at night and go to sleep! It is set back in the 1840s when Brits were trying to find the Northwest Passage. Two ships, The Terror and the Erubus, take off in 1846 and end up stuck in the ice for two years with something not animal, not human terrorizing and murdering them.

I have only recently discovered over the last few years that I am attracted to historical fiction. This is historical fiction mixed with horror, and Dan Simmons does it so effortlessly. I was hesitant to pick up such a huge book when I checked this out at the library, but I figured I’d either love it or hate it.

I love it!
