This had some really good creep factors - extremely atmospheric, with plenty of dread. I think it's brilliant to marry nuclear contamination with Nyarlathotep - it brings that concept into modern times, but still gets the feel of that horror perfectly on point.
This is only 3.5 stars for me because it felt a bit underwritten. I would love to see this as a novel, with more time to flesh out Victoria and where she's coming from before arriving at the site, more time to see a slow deterioration of Swan, and a little more elegance and subtlety about what's really going on. It felt rushed to have the computer screens spell out exactly what we're dealing with, and Gramma Exposition was clunky - a little too informed and too willing and able to convey all her information.
Also, there's an annoying thread that I found sexist and tiresome, but I'll say that the culmination of that thread took a different direction and was pretty bold. So I'm more willing to forgive what came before.
Still, I highly recommend checking this out if you like horror or weird fiction!
