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.kristinescorner's review against another edition

Bad future super corporations doing bad things and screwing over the little people is the name of the game here, and even the haunted ship of the dead idea doesn't really overcome what we've seen in the past. The framing used in the book, that of the main character relating what happened in the past to her interviewers, robs the story of a lot of its surprise as she frequently reveals outcomes of events before we even know they happen.
To dip a bit into spoiler territory,
So while I had a decent time with the book, I don't think it'll stick with me in the long run. I mainly just wish it was a bit more horror focused than it ended up being.
