From Below

Sixty years after the SS Arcadia vanished mid-voyage, a dive team descends to its newly discovered wreck, hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface. Darcy Coates builds her horror around the claustrophobia of deep-sea exploration: limited oxygen, disorienting darkness, and a ship whose disappearance has never been fully explained. Cove and her team arrive with cameras and a mission, but the Arcadia holds something far more dangerous than corroded steel and old bones, and it has no intention of letting them leave.

Abby Craden's narration is ideally suited to Coates's slow-burn style, sustaining dread through controlled, measured delivery rather than melodrama. Her voice captures Cove's professional composure cracking under pressure, and the confined underwater setting translates exceptionally well to audio, where silence and pacing do as much work as the prose. At just over twelve hours, the runtime allows the tension to accumulate gradually before the story's full horror arrives.
