“The Vicious Deep is Zoraida Córdova’s debut trilogy, published between 2012 and 2014. The series reimagines mermaid mythology in a modern urban setting, starting with The Vicious Deep and continuing through The Savage Blue and The Vast and Brutal Sea.”
“The trilogy blends Coney Island surf culture with underwater kingdoms and ancient sea creatures. It was Córdova’s first published series and established her interest in combining mythological traditions with contemporary settings, a pattern she would continue in later works like Brooklyn Brujas.”
