Seanan is aware that you have Google at your fingertips, so doesn't bother to explain some things.We like a lot of the characters, so threatening them is scary and losing some of them hurts.Seanan's books read almost effortlessly, and this is no different.Structurally, the major differences are that we and the characters know what's about to happen, so a lot of it is willful this time and there are survivors. Or alternately, maybe I didn't need to read the second story since I've read the first one. You don't need to read the first story, because the second story is just a longer version of the first story. The reality channel wants revenge and vindication, and so do some of the people who lost people in the first story. She's just released Into the Drowning Deep, a sequel. You remember the Discovery Channel did a credulous and asinine show about the modern-day survival of Megalodon? The premise of Rolling in the Deep was a similar show by a reality channel preying on the credulity of viewers, sending a bunch of people to the South Pacific to look for mermaids. A while back, she did a novella called Rolling in the Deep. Seanan McGuire does her SF/horror stuff under the name Mira Grant.
