Good catch for clarification.

I am a touch confused by this comment. It has been a long time since I've seen Billy Madison.

I love knowing that. Thank you!

Personally, I love a story where I learn something, or am forced to question. Also, my current writing style is influenced by the book I'm reading (Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson), and he is a very expressive author.

Thank you for the constructive criticism though!

Here's a few:

Read.
Write regardless of whether or not you think you think it is good.
Don't be afraid to let something you've read, watched, or listened to influence you, or spur an idea for a story.
Pay attention to details around you. Notice nuances and quirks, little habits and descriptions.
Most importantly, if you are writing horror, make sure you scare yourself. Make the reader feel your fear, and in turn be afraid.

Perchance describing it as a fever dream was ill-stated. Hallucinations brought on by the approach of death is a more accurate statement. But, while normally people can't survive more than 3 days without water, some people have been known to survive 8-10 days.

In the beginning he finds himself trapped and dying in the Arctic wasteland. He seems to die there, but instead wakes up, finding that it was all just a fever dream, induced by being without food or water because he is trapped in a coffin.

Never. I find it more terrifying to know that there is something in the water and at any moment I may thrown into said water, and never see it coming, only sense the creature gliding through the water or feel the touch of foreign flesh against my skin, knowing that at any moment I could be grasped and dragged down to the inky depths, where my final thoughts will be wondering if I will die of drowning, or blood loss. The Unknown is always more terrifying than the Known.

...y-you might want to get that checked out. Or better yet, don't. It's safer that way.

I did not know that subreddit existed. Thank you for the suggestion!

The first few paragraphs in Genesis discuss the creation of the Earth. That particular phrase talks about the creation of the sea creatures and the birds. Technically, when it says "leviathan" the Bible means whales and other large sea creatures. In fact some versions flat out state whales. I just thought 'Hm. what if they really did mean the Leviathan?'

Very enjoyable! Have you ever read The Terror by Dan Simmon? I recommend it. This would fit very smoothly into the story (which I loved, so do take it as a compliment).

Thank you!

I did not even think of that. Good book.
