The Creeping Kelp

Like usual with creature features, you're just here for the monster. A shoggoth mixed with seaweed terrorizes the coast. That should be pretty lame but the action scenes are fun and full of gore.

It starts with some commentary on environmentalism but that is quickly dropped as people begin getting eaten, which is fair enough I suppose. The characters aren't really well developed, just your standard action movie kind that are just there to drive the plot forward.

The author has two other short stories mixed in throughout he did and it greatly expands on the idea, although he also does that thing where the characters stop reading the journals and then pick them up again and gain new knowledge that of course is suddenly relevant. I hate that.

Your usual fun, action-packed monster movie in book form that this author loves to do. Great to read if you're in the mood, otherwise you'll pick it apart.
