Created by BuySomeApples (talk). Self-nominated at 06:47, 27 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/100 Fathoms Below; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Unclear why the hook is particularly interesting to a broad audience. (t · c) buidhe 22:01, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: I would have suggested a hook about it being a vampire novel that takes place in a submarine, but the real-world-relation criterion so, yeah. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: Hmm, that was the only way I could think to tie the plot into a real world fact. I can't think of a different hook so I'm OK if this nom is closed. BuySomeApples (talk) 02:58, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a broad audience, and found the hook extremely engaging. Vampires on a submarine?! How do you get away? So many possibilities for development... Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, well cited, great hook directly cited within. Good quality cites, like NYJB and SBR. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
