When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.
They didn't expect actual mermaids. They certainly didn't expect those mermaids to have teeth.
This is the story of the Atargatis, lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the bathypelagic zone in the Mariana Trench . . . and the depths are very good at keeping secrets.

      In this slim, grim tale of aquatic horror, Grant (Symbiont) unveils the tragic last voyage of the SS Atargatis, hired by the Imagine Network to help film a fake documentary on mermaids while also performing deep-sea scientific studies. With several hundred people on board, including a troupe of professional “mermaids,” the Atargatis sets forth for the Mariana Trench and is never seen again. In true horror fashion, Grant introduces a large cast of colorful personalities, giving many of them brief chances to shine, before unleashing the horrors of the deep upon them. As fake mermaids meet the real creatures living in the Trench, blood is spilled and people valiantly fight for their lives. Sadly, the climax of the novella comes too soon and too quickly, with little payoff for the relaxed buildup; the premise and execution deserve a full novel and are ill-served by Grant’s economy of plot. Still, readers may never look at mermaids the same way again. Agent: Diana Fox, Fox Literary Agency.
