What is scary about Terror? Not being a faggot just curious, I've read and enjoyed Hyperion and love horror books generally

It's based on the true story of a 19th century voyage to find the northwest passage that went horribly wrong. Like really bad. And this fictionalized version has a creature involved as well. It's very good.

You'd be hard pressed to find something scarier or more disturbing than this.

Blood Meridian and some of the short-stories by Cortazar.
Both are perhaps more eerie than scary.

Wrong. That's the story they made up later. It was really a big science project to prove humbolts theories of Geo magnetism
