ok, i dont normally post on this particular forum except to rant but today is different. i just picked up a new novel (which is keeping me from my Graduate Readings!) Its a novel, and no its not about the video game of the same name.
Imagine this, The hell of the Medieval period was not allegory, the Gehenna in ancient Israel was not a demonized graveyard, Giants DID walk the earth...and they walk it still.
Hidden deep beneath the earth beyond the rays of the revealing sun dwells a race of albino creatures, vaguely humanoid, totally at odds with humanity and thus EVIL. They are the demons of our collective nightmares, they are the cannibal ghouls who haunt the mortuaries of mankind. They Feast upon flesh and torture humans and enslave people as a perverse form of pleasure...and its assumed all for one being, an Entity called, for lack ofa better term, Satan.
Mankind begins a war to end all wars in the bowels of the world, a war that may spell our armegeddon.
This book is Crighton and King rolled up into one. Throw in some Lovecraft and a bit of Danielowski and there you have it.
I WAS a caver before this book, maybe i should rethink my idea of fun.
