pickThis was better than the first volume. Two of the crew go on a mission to find a missing crew member and what they find is beyond crazy.

Enjoy!
so-soI'm really sad that I didn't love it. I'm not even sure how I feel about it, overall. It had interesting narrative choices, some scenes were creepy and unsettling, and the atmosphere was really well developed. But there was also a disconnect from the main narrative. Personally, I would have wished to only focus on the present, and then make less of the past events a focus, but I also don't hate it because there was a good reason for it.
pickIn a world where the 9/11 attacks were a near miss, Nick Prasad is a Canadian teenager whose life is defined by his friendship with a child prodigy and world famous scientist, Joanna "Johnny" Chambers. Johnny has cured diseases and saved countless lives, but when eldritch horrors threaten to rise up and destroy the world, Nick learns his friend has secrets that will change everything. A wild fever dream of a book.
pickI absolutely love the more modern storyline in the book. The author has a style of writing that really pulled me in. However, there‘s a story within the story that almost ruined the entire thing for me. It‘s basically about the legend and folklore about this particular fishing spot the the town that used to exist around it. The owner of a local diner tells the tale to two fisherman in an attempt to scare them away….and he drones on for hours!!!
There is a monstrous odour . . .senses transfigured. . .boarding at that tower window cracking and giving way. . . .Iä . . .ngai. . .ygg. . . .
“I see it—coming here—hell-wind—titan blur—black wings—Yog-Sothoth save me—the three-lobed burning eye. . . .”

panI chose this one for a challenge and because apparently there should be some strong lovecraftian vibes in this one. Well, I did not get any vibes from this book at all and in a couple of days I wont even remember I read it. Too much dialogue, no real characters and I couldn't find the story before I lost interest. I should've gone with my second choice...

bailedThere was a story within a story and unfortunately that smaller story lost me… too many people dragging around a plot that lost my interest. I‘ve hear good things tho and I think it might be worth another try later on, but for rn it‘s going in my list as a DNF.
pickOk, started strong with some big horror elements, but did not expect where we ended up. 3.5 ⭐️ , wish it would‘ve stayed more zombie woman raised from the dead and actually discussed more about The Fisherman. I can see LOTS of cool stories within this story. I hope John writes more. Also this BEGS to be a film adaptation.
