![]() ![]() When at the end the solution to the mystery starts to reveal itself it amazed me how much detail and thought was given to the overall story. Things you don’t think are important are. Yet, they are all somehow intertwined together within the overall plot and mystery. And there are a lot of different characters to keep up with. Each one has a backstory that becomes important in some way. What fascinates me about the author’s works is how simple and yet intricate they are. And while there are similarities The Devil and the Dark Water is not a retelling or accounting of the actual shipwreck, but is its own unique story. Drawing on this, the author uses people/roles, names, and places to create his story. If you ever happen to read the true account, you might actually think it is a bad plot of a horror novel, except in this case it happens to be true. A shipwreck by itself would be terrifying, but it takes a further insidious and sinister turn even after the survivors find their way to a nearby island. The true story of the Batavia is horrific. The Devil and the Dark Water is a paranormal mystery inspired by the Batavia shipwreck of 1628. The Devil and the Dark Water by: Stuart Turton ![]()
