It's no secret I'm a fan of Lindsays short stories, and this is no exception!! I loved this one, it really draws you in and makes you feel as though YOU are the main character, experiencing everything they experience, all 5 senses heightened to the max!
When our MC wakes up after a heavy night, the last thing he expects, is exactly what he gets!
The build up is brilliant, you get tension, fear and that very creepy open water feel, creating a very eerie and chilling atmosphere!
A fun, horrifying, gory read, with a fantastic, unexpected twist!!

Man this story packs one hell of a horrific punch in a very short time. This story was masterfully written. Lindsay Crook is able to make you feel so much horror and panic with very little gore just awesome. I highly recommend this and anything else by Lindsay Crook she never disappoints and with every story she keep getting better. Go get this at godless.com

A great short by Crook. The scene building and tension makes this little story pack a punch

Sometimes all you need is a frat-boy disaster floating alone in the ocean to have a good time. This is a quick, fun horror snack about a total douchebag who wakes up on a raft after a wild night out… except he has no memory of how he got there and no way to get back.
Because he’s tied down, the story traps us right alongside him, and we get a front-row seat to the horrors lurking beneath the waves. For such a short page count, it delivers tension and unease really well. Bad decisions, ocean terror, and karma working overtime.

All too often, when writers want to build the horror in a scene, they delve ever deeper into descriptions of grossness and depravity. Despite this, often the greater horror and creeping dread comes from what is not said. It’s a hard thing to achieve, but Crook manages it in Stranded. This isn’t a frenzied story of action and mayhem, it’s a slow burning period of suffering, an inescapable torment which smothers the reader with a cloak of hopelessness.
Having read a few Lindsay Crook stories, I’d love to see more in this style. Definitely a recommended read!

It has the writing you’ve come to know and love from Lindsay Crook, but this one falls way flat.
At minimum, I thought we’d find out how he ended up on the raft, but nope. There’s no conclusion to that whatsoever. He has no memory of his night, he doesn’t get rescued, and that’s the end of the story.
Pretty disappointed. I was invested but kept watching my kindle percentage until finished number going higher and was like “oh… so… that’s it?”

After a hard night of drinking, our "Hero" wakes up in the middle of the ocean, alone on a raft, tied down; left to the elements.
If you are familiar with Lindsay Crook's other works (Manic, Manic Christmas, Little Piggies, etc), you know that you are in for a treat. Crook has a very familiar style of writing that is welcoming right from the get go so that even if her stories are short, you are quickly invested. You never see the ending coming. And they feel very real.
All of Crook's stories are available on Godless.

20-year old Ross Walker was a having blast partying one night. Everything was going great. Hanging with his frat buddies? Yes! Getting wasted? hell yeah! Hooking up with a chick, fuck yes! Waking up tied spread eagle on a raft in the middle of the ocean? Yeah! Oh wait....what? What happened and how did he get here? Will we ever know? An excellent quick read. Check it out!

STRANDED is a wonderful extreme vignette with some original aesthetics, and it wastes no time getting to the unsettling and disgusting descriptions.
