Overview
A specter is haunting the Atlantic! After growing up together on the luxurious SS Lark, Neeta Pandey and Emery Botwright are ready to start their lives. Emery wants to follow in his father's footsteps and sail the Lark forever, while Neeta yearns to travel the world. But neither will have any future at all if the Lark's new owner, Mr. Honeycutt, has his way. Mr. Honeycutt...The first-class passengers adore him, while he makes the ship a nightmare for the crew. Twisted by unnatural appetites, the rich are actually transforming into something less than human, and their insatiable demands soon push the staff toward a - quite literal - burnout. Something otherworldly is undeniably aboard the SS Lark, something horribly hungry. But it's not Wick Farley: vampire, secret agent, and paranormal investigator. Alone and at sea, with only Neeta and Emery to help him, he must uncover the truth about Mr. Honeycutt. And fast -before a ravenous craving for power consumes them all. Taylor Robin's debut graphic novel is a thrilling supernatural adventure told in crackling, vibrant colours.

Author Information
Brooklyn-based cartoonist Taylor Robin grew up around yacht clubs and quickly became aware of the difference between the people who belonged to them, and the people who worked for them. As a child, he nearly drowned while cleaning the underside of a sailboat and now he can't watch the sinking scene in Titanic. He's glad the next book is set on a train.
