The ice is unyielding. The cold is merciless. And something out there wants them all dead.
The HMS Terror and Erebus, part of the legendary Franklin Expedition, are trapped in the Arctic with no thaw in sight. Poisoned food, failing coal, and crushing isolation gnaw at the crew’s resolve, but the true horror isn’t the ice.
It’s what stalks them.
An ancient, inhuman predator haunts the frozen wastes, invisible and unstoppable. As paranoia, starvation, and fear spiral out of control, the men must face not just the monster outside, but the monsters within.
The Terror is a masterclass in historical horror by Dan Simmons, blending meticulous research with supernatural dread.
Crushing cold. Unspeakable evil. No way out.
This isn’t just survival. It’s a descent into madness.
