A Dark and Endless Sea by Blaine Daigle is a story about a man with no memories, struggling with a reoccurring nightmare. The nightmare leads him to a ship where he enlists as a crab fisherman. On this ship, he finds other men who share the same nightmares and memory loss. The Captain has his own mission that is driving him.
This book is slow and at times feels very repetitive. It has a dark atmosphere and some depressing characters but it doesn't scream horror to me. It's more of a story about a man looking to overcome past trauma, a man trying to right a past wrong, and a man trying to find his true self. It is like a modern day Moby Dick mixed with mythological creatures and lore. It is an enjoyable dark twist on that story.
