Down Into the Sea, by Dan Franklin HOT

About the Book:
Fourteen-year-old Eric Ross is struggling. His father is in prison for murder. His mother has slipped into addiction. Even if he can survive the bullying and the sudden run of disappearances, he has little hope for a future outside of the sleepy Massachusetts fishing town he calls home.

But there is something far more important on his mind.

He found her down beneath the local entertainment pier, and she seems just about perfect. Except for the teeth. But she doesn’t want to simply be a part of his world. She wants more…

From the author of These Things Linger and The Eater of Gods, Down Into the Sea is a vicious twist on coming-of-age horror, on the unyielding, transformative power of desire, and the dangers of standing in its path.

"It would be too easy to call DOWN INTO THE SEA a salty American stepsister to LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. I suppose that fits, but such a comparison does Dan Franklin's wonderful novella no justice. Dive deep into this dark and oh-so-unsettling coming-of-age tale -- my favorite of its kind that I've read in the last few years, without a doubt -- and you'll rarely come up for air. It's amazing!"

-James Newman, author of Midnight Rain, Animosity, co-writer of In the Scrape

"If you're looking for a read that will leave you alternately terrified and heartbroken, this is it."

-Well Worth a Read

"What more could I want? This was fantastic."

-Blaine Daigle, author of The Broken Places and A Dark and Endless Sea

Published as a trade paperback:
