The short plot summary sounds a bit like The Thing. Is there any similarity?

Not all that similar aside from the icy setting, a cast of all, or almost all men, and a monster.
The hardships the men suffer in the Terror makes what happens in the Thing seem like a cakewalk.
Moderators are terrorists. -

The conditions the men must endure in The Terror are absolutely harrowing. It's so painful to read at times (in a good way) that I found myself stopping to try and imagine myself in their situation, thinking "how long would I last?"
Trying to imagine the cold and the fear of dying in isolation. Just awful. Great book!! Nothing like
The Thing. -

Yes there is but it isn't easy to discern. I have read (sadly I can't remember where) that a working title for the book was 'The Thing in the Time of the Sail'.
There is a theory about the relationship between the monster and the men that offers insight into how The Thing is written into the story. Happy to share it but it's potentially a massive spoiler for the show.
Let me know if you'd like to hear it.
