The Shining is one of my all time favorite horror books and s this took some of the same concepts but mashed it with Titanic/Poseidon and threw it all in space.
As the lone survivor of two major events and not knowing that the people who are protecting you and helping to raise you after all your family is gone, is actually just using you as good publicity. Claire must try and piece together what is real and what isn’t in order to not only save herself but any other survivors as well as expose the company she thought was on her side. When you can’t tell the difference between what is and isn’t real, in a fit for your life, what lengths would you go to in order to survive?

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that everyone on board the ship lost their minds and hurt themselves and/or others. And the main character writes in first person about her experiences, both on the ship and as a child during an outbreak of an illness. I didn't find the descriptions of dead bodies and injuries to be excessively graphic, but it's disturbing to think about/picture in your mind so I've called it graphic.rochelleisreading's review against another edition

The book structure is odd, as the interesting part (them exploring the ship, figuring out what's going on, etc.) is mostly the first half of the book and even that is broken up by "now" sections where Clair is telling the story to someone else. That slows things down, and then things slow down even further around 60% through when
Other than that, though, the book was absorbing and creepy, to the point where I had to stop reading it before bed, and it also had a surprising amount of heart to it - it's a tragedy, but the affection of the crew for each other holds strong. There's even a somewhat happy ending - it's messy and bloody and gross in parts, but it's not entirely hopeless, and in the end
