The History Behind Haunting the Deep with Author Adriana Mather

#1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Hang a Witch, Adriana Mather, is back with a spooky new book that’s full of witchcraft, ghosts, and a curse that’s haunting the Titanic over a century after the ship sank. In this video Adriana talks about her inspiration for the story, how her real ancestors were actually on the Titanic and survived, and the importance of studying the history of the “unsinkable ship.”

Haunting the Deep

The Titanic meets the delicious horror of Ransom Riggs and the sass of Mean Girls in this follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Hang a Witch,in which a contemporary teen finds herself a passenger on the famous “ship of dreams”—a story made all the more fascinating because the author’s own relatives survived the doomed voyage.

 

Samantha Mather knew her family’s connection to the infamous Salem Witch Trials might pose obstacles to an active social life. But having survived one curse, she never thought she’d find herself at the center of a new one.

 

This time, Sam is having recurring dreams about the Titanic . . . where she’s been walking the deck with first-class passengers, like her aunt and uncle. Meanwhile, in Sam’s waking life, strange missives from the Titanic have been finding their way to her, along with haunting visions of people who went down with the ship.

 

Ultimately, Sam and the Descendants, along with some help from heartthrob Elijah, must unravel who is behind the spell that is drawing her ever further into the dream ship . . . and closer to sharing the same grim fate as its ghostly passengers.
