An audio drama adaptation of Kurt Anderson's novel about a giant sea predator.
This production adapts the original text into an immersive audio experience released in 2020. The plot centers on a massive serpentine creature that rises from the sea to attack a research vessel near Massachusetts. Captain Brian Hawkins intervenes and saves one crew member, only to track the beast to a casino cruise ship. The narrative focuses on the predator's hunger for human flesh and its status as an ancient, efficient killer. Anderson uses this format to heighten the tension of the hunt. The story does not rely on complex scientific explanations but rather on the visceral threat of the monster. Listeners will experience the escalation from a remote ocean attack to a crowded ship filled with high stakes passengers.
This dramatized adaptation sits within the tradition of American horror and supernatural fiction. It draws on the trope of ancient creatures awakening in modern settings. The story is set off the coast of Massachusetts and involves Arctic ice, blending geographical extremes with classic monster movie elements popular in late twentieth century genre literature.
