Jeffrey Caston’s Reviews > The Butchered Writers Present Terror Monthly: Volume 12 What Lurks in the Deep > Status Update

DL Garvin's cryptid in "The Kraggu" was an interesting and creative foe that presented quite a challenge for humanity.

Sarah Moon offered up something new in "Patch of Doom," telling a psychological type of thriller that showed good range and was the first story that gave me a surprise ending so huge kudos for that.

Dude!? Seriously! What did I just get done saying. In Andy H.'s "The Deep Ones," we have a whole other set of people messing with lovecraftian issues and forces that are best left alone. People can be so dumb and Andy sure shows that in a very entertaining way.

Tyler H. offers up some modern day oceanic Indiana Jones action in "Secrets of the Sea." Dude... folks gotta know it's a bad idea to mess with ancient artifacts.

The anthology takes a 180 with Clawmaker's "The Isle," which weaves a beautifully heartbreaking tale of love, loss, and destiny.

Winona Morris has a standout story in "The Bait Was Cast." Very creative. Very impressive. I liked it a lot.

The maritime setting featured in Jerry Blaze's "Sound of the Shadow" has chaos, murder, and mystery that creates waves of blood almost as large as the ocean upon which the story occurs.

John Russell weaves a delightfully haunting tale of oceans and the seductive siren song in "An Ocean Song."

Colt Henderson told a tale of an epic oceanic cryptid and a jerk who gets what he deserved.

Next up on my reading in this collection was Thomas Stewart offering some lovecraftian-styled cryptid action in "The Horror on the SS Esquire."
