Sacculina

By: Philip Fracassi

Narrated by: A.J. Carter

When Jim's big brother Jack is released from prison, the brothers - along with their broken father and Jack's menacing best friend - decide to charter an ocean fishing boat to celebrate Jack's new freedom. Once the small crew is far out to sea, however, a mutant species rises from the deep abyssal darkness to terrorize the vessel and its occupants. As the horror of their situation becomes clear, the small group must find a way to fend off the attack and somehow, someway, return to safety; but as the strange parasitic creatures overrun them, they must use more extreme - and deadly - measures to survive.

A fishing trip gone wrong

This seafaring tale of a fishing trip gone wrong was absolutely brilliant! Character driven and tension-filled throughout, with terrifying circumstances you don’t have to be a fisherman to appreciate. Fracassi never disappoints with his masterful ability to weave a story together. The narration by Carter fit the story perfectly and really added to the intensity. I highly recommend this one!

Good performance

A quick story that does a good job setting the tone and building tension. Well read also.

Now I'm scared of barnacles?

The story itself is really great, but I wish it were longer and more detailed.

I’d rather swim with sharks

The view tonight of Dune park on Tacoma’s waterfront, named so because Frank Herbert Jr was raised in my smelter contaminated neighborhood, seemed the perfect place to listen to this this horrifying story and watch the sun set turning the ocean red. It did not disappoint! Good old fashioned horror that is gonna tickle the back of my brain every time I see the water. Great story, I highly recommend!

Gripping! I really enjoyed this story. Very creepy

Sea life gone mutant. I would have liked more back story on the marine life; cause and effect... The man was infected in the end, right? Kinda of a cliffhanger in the end. However, i felt the story was very good overall. Great performance
