The Terror - Likewise Book Reviews

"🎯😌#general #fiction #horror 👏👍"

"Don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet but it's on my list of top favorite books of all time. It genuinely spooked me multiple times while reading and was a hyperfixation of mine that's still going strong haha. 10/10, highly recommend "

"I got over halfway through the audiobook and I'm so bored. I'm just not a huge fan or historical fiction or survival horror, so I'm not even sure why I tried this."

"A compelling and deeply disturbing speculation on the fate of an actual doomed Arctic expedition. This book is incredibly well researched, and quickly proves that real life illness and isolation can be just as disturbing and insidious as a monster stalking the dark. Gory, bleak, and direct, this novel also is a clever warning again colonialism and mistreatment of the environment. A long and very detailed saga, but well worth the time of any history or horror fan. "

"Dark and terrifying! "

"Haven't finished it yet but damn it's good"

"Simmons melds historical fiction with magic realism and mystical folklore very well. Fascinating what-if story of a real lost expedition searching for the northwest passage. A tale of extreme survival becomes much more."

"Excellent, captivating book that capitalized on my personal fear of being stranded in the far north without a clue how to survive, and without adequate supplies. I grew up in Canada with seriously bitter winters, and we always had a homemade roadside survival kit in our car when visiting with out-of-town family. (I’m internet old and this was before cell phone calls to CAA. Those survival kits could be lifesavers, but ymmv when used while stalked by a supernatural snow beastie.) 🤷‍♀️"

"Incredible book"

"This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while!!! The author has you experience everything, you feel as if you are trapped in the ice yourself trying to survive!!! Such a great book!!!"

"Arctic Terror with hallmarks of The Thing"

"Interesting plot! Since it's based on true events, you know the outcome, but I still didn't expect the ending."

"I read this almost every winter on dark blizzardy evenings. Great stuff."

"It’s a great read!"
