Seaside: Volume One

by Yebon Yang

"What I did know, was that right after that, there was a faint rumbling deep beneath the earth as hundreds of thousands of eyes reflected and shined in the darkness as they crawled along the cave walls, down towards us. Simuntaneously, the entire, absolutely massive cave chamber was suddenly lit up by massive bioluminescent growths on the cave walls and utterly enormous worm-like abomanations wriggling and slithering towards us.""OPEN FIRE!!" Smith screamed through his megaphone.419 MILLION YEARS AGO IN THE DEVONIAN PERIOD, an eldritch horror manifested itself in the earth’s deep oceans along with its pantheon and offspring of unspeakable horrors and entities.It was trapped under the seafloor by an unknown force in the largest underwater cave system to ever exist and lay dormant, it yet was filled with extreme hunger...419 million years later, a tone-deaf and job-hungry marine biologist named Roger ‘discovered’ giant, mutilated, and half-eaten dead whales and sharks on the shores of his small seaside town. After an investigation launched by the local government, a classified and enormous creature known as The Leviathan was discovered on the seafloor. But it was decapitated and mutilated, killed by something even larger than itself, something with ties to an ancient eldritch god.Roger investigates The Leviathan and its killer with an operator for a private monster-hunting agency, and a childhood bully, now a skilled mercenary. The search for the culprit and what it might mean takes the crew to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, the cave systems of Oregon, the Appalachian mountains, and secret government facilities.And if they're right, the monsters, demons, and gods they'll encounter all lead back to an eldritch horror which may mean the end of the world.He sure screwed up.

Fun to read

I was searching for new topics for reading and found this book recommendation in some reddit post.
What I didn't like: writing is a bit chaotic. There is a lot of action, but also a lot of shortcuts.
I sometimes have to scratch my head.
In general, if you like some of the Cthulhu related stories, then you may like this book.
