This book was such a fascinating take on the dystopian genre. Set in a submarine in a universe where The Cold War wasn't cold, We Shall Sing a Song into the Deep follows a girl posing as a boy in an all-male cult. The main character begins to have doubts, as one naturally would if you found yourself underwater singing praises. I really loved the uniqueness of this, but also the punch it packed while only being 160 pages long. I would absolutely love to see more books set in the same universe.

Wonderfully haunting tale of a cult living entirely on a submarine, cut off from the world outside. It is a story full of tension, told with lyrical prose. Unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Definitely give this debut a read!

This novella is so thematically cohesive that it blew me away. The religious death cult and their Cold War submarine setting pulled me in immediately, and our young narrator's journey had me riveted. The prose is beautiful and disorienting, as the author explores how years of isolation might defamiliarize the commonplace. This was a thoughtfully constructed story, compellingly told.
