Sacculina

<b>"The story is exciting, and terrifically scary." -- <i>The New York Times</i></b><br /><br />"SACCULINA is a smart, terrifying, and poignant tale of creeping menace. I devoured it in one frenzied sitting... this Fracassi guy is damn good." --<b>Richard Chizmar</b>, author of <i>A Long December</i> and co-author (with Stephen King) of <i>Gwendy's Button Box </i><br /><br />When Jim's big brother Jack is released from prison, the brothers - along with their broken father and Jack's menacing best friend - decide to charter an ocean fishing boat to celebrate Jack's new freedom.<br /><br />Once the small crew is far out to sea, however, a mutant species rises from the deep abyssal darkness to terrorize the vessel and its occupants.<br /><br />As the horror of their situation becomes clear, the small group must find a way to fend off the attack and somehow, someway, return to safety; but as the strange parasitic creatures overrun them, they must use more extreme - and deadly - measures to survive.
