Quite a chilling and macabre novella. A crew on a trawler fishing off the Alaskan coast rescue a young woman unexpectedly...Thats when things start to go to hell in a handbasket on board the trawler, and the boat and crew start to disintegrate.I enjoyed the descriptions of the ice and cold and the isolation. The crew of the trawler, Charley, Mike and company were well presented. Each had there share of problems and appeared to be ordinary men trying to make a living in a hard and harsh world.It was the girl, the mysterious, ambiguous, malevolent child like woman that I wanted to know more about. No real surprises in the ending, but still a very good read.
