Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From the acclaimed author of The Troop—a book that is “utterly terrifying” (Clive Barker). “Fans of unflinching bleakness and all-out horror will love this novel….Each new shock is freshly disturbing” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
A strange plague called the ‘Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure.
But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

“What a crazy ride, felt like I was in the Trieste the entire time. The ending was a bit disappointing for me, but it was still good. Very bleak”Reviewed in:Carter’s Book Club

“I enjoyed this book a lot, even though it scared me often and I felt claustrophobic a lot of the time. I thought that Cutter wrote the slow descent into madness and unreliable narrator perspective very well. This sci-fi horror was one of the first of its genre that I’ve ever read and I thought it was great. I kinda wish there was more of an explanation at the end, but otherwise it was good!”Reviewed in:Spooky Babes Bookclub

“I loved the concept, and I was genuinely getting spooked throughout the book. I ultimately gave it 3 stars, took off one for the execution + one for the ending/explanation that came out of left field 💀”Reviewed in:Spooky Babes Bookclub
