I really enjoy reading horror that focuses on the ocean, so of course I had to read this. The fact that it's published by Tenebrous Press also helped. 

Isaiah is on his first voyage on the whaling ship called Merciful, which unfortunately does not live up to its name after a strange man is found alive inside the body of a whale. Things gradually get worse for the crew as the novel progresses, as there is not enough food, and a mysterious illness appears. There is also some romantic feelings between Isaiah and the man from the belly of the whale.

The anti-capitalism theme is very evident in this book, such as when some fish suddenly appear on the ship, which the crew are excited to eat. But the captain makes them dump the fish back into the sea because according to him, they didn't work at getting the fish onto the ship. Fuck you Coffin, you piece of shit captain. 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Anyway, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical horror. :)
