Now, Imagine Entertainment are planning a second expedition to the Mariana Trench to find incontrovertible proof of mermaids and show the world what happened to the crew of the Atargatis. Seven years ago, when Imagine Entertainment sent a mockumentary team out to the Mariana Trench about the Atargatis they found just how real mermaids were, but with no survivors and only unbelievable leaked video footage to tell their story, the incident is either considered a tragic accident at sea or derided as a hoax. Mermaids have always been the stuff of legends, whether they feature in sailors’ cautionary tales or children’s stories. Just not, perhaps, before a trip to the beach.Publisher: Orbit Publication Date – 14 November 2017įrom one of the brightest stars in horror and science fiction, comes a heart pounding and imaginative story about terrifying creatures in the deep. It is for people who look at the ocean with equal parts captivation and distrust, for those who like their fairy tales with a twist, an edge. It is science all twisted up in a fairy tale, and that fairy tale takes its cues from the old cautionary stories we have mellowed over time and tellings. It is a short, but very careful book- characters are all thought out and breathe life into the story, and ultimately contribute to pull of the final horror and while bread crumbs of foreshadowing are laid out well for the readers, the end still hits with stunning impact.

Rolling in the Deep is a beautiful, lethal story about human dreams and desires. No one anticipated there would actually be mermaids in the deepest part of the ocean, or that somewhere while telling tales of mermaids through the ages we got some very important details wrong. In the event no mermaids were found, some would be provided to tease the cameras every now and then. The liner was populated with its crew, scientists who signed on for the research opportunities, representatives from the Imagine Network, and a troupe of mermaid performance artists. It started as an expedition from the Imagine Network, a ‘documentary’ set to find proof of the existence of mermaids. We believe they were found.” -Mira Grant, Rolling in the Deep.

We believe that something far worse occurred. “The official record says all hands were lost at sea.
