Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The Terror is a miniseries, but the sense of existential dread that’s present throughout all of it is totally unmatched
  • Some of my favourites from this year, which I'm almost certain don't involve animals (if there are any it's at least not memorable): • The Terror - Dan Simmons
  • The Terror by Dan Simmons
  • I cannot recommend The Terror by Dan Simmons enough
  • The Terror by Dan Simmons. 2/3 through and it is excellent.

Cons

  • I love The Terror, but Dan Simmons goes a little hard on the historical racism in a way that makes me side-eye him a bit 🧐
  • The Terror was okay. It could probably have been 300 pages shorter without sacrificing much.

Parent context: The Terror and Migrations were both cold settings Reply: The Terror is the only book I have ever read that dropped the temperature around me.

I loved it, but I’m finding I like slogging books lol. I loved Ghost Story, liked The Terror, loved the Fisherman, really enjoyed Swan Song, etc.

The Terror is another good, meaty read from Dan Simmons

Maybe try The Terror by Dan Simmons ... historical fiction with some edge and well-researched enough to be super intriguing to someone interested in history/archaeology, but aren’t overly literary.
