About this listen

She was never meant to be seen.

Born in the abyss—where light has never touched and pressure shapes every living thing—she was destined to remain hidden. A creature of the deep, unseen by the world above, drifting through the blackness, waiting.

Until one day… she rose.

For reasons unknown, a lone anglerfish ascended from the deep, leaving behind the only world she had ever known. She swam toward something distant, something beautiful—a light that was not her own.

And when she reached it, she was gone.

But not before she was seen.

A passing diver captured her final moments. The video spread across the internet, and soon, the world mourned a creature they had never known they could love.

A Story That Will Stay With You

The Fish Who Touched the Light is a poetic, deeply moving exploration of a moment that captivated millions. Blending science, emotion, and symbolism, this book tells the haunting yet beautiful story of an anglerfish who defied the deep and touched the impossible.
