Why read it?
1 author picked What Stalks the Deep as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While this one felt more firmly in the dark fantasy realm than horror (even the gothic slowburn of the rest of this series) it was a really fun read.
I love Easton and their brand of story-telling. Their take on an adventure to America is perfect, though maybe Guam would have been nicer ;)
The sequences of traversing the cave were perfectly claustrophobia inducing (even if Easton is NOT claustrophobic in the slightest) and I loved the strange biology behind Fragment and his wholeness.
Maybe not really horror, but totally a 5 star read.
