One should watch or read "The Terror"

It is a fantastic book, and a great miniseries adaptation.

Just a note though, in the context of this conversation, it was written before much of the big discoveries of the ships, and other historical research came out, so it is largely speculative after last contact (obviously the supernatural elements are pure fiction)

Yes, although the final episode was so harrowing that certain images are burned into my brain. To the point where I wish I hadn’t seen it!
