Becoming by Glenn Rolfe
3.0
A straight-up B-flick type horror story. The writing style keeps it simple and focused on what's going on in the present, so it's also a speedy and easy read.
The characters don't come alive much since they are mainly cannon fodder for the tentacles of doom, so they sort of blend together with the exception of a few. The beginning with the abused Cliff, the conscientious sheriff, and the loyal teenage Girl Melissa are a few who stand out.
Gore fans will enjoy the descriptions of slime and gooey things. The death count is as high as you'd expect from this type of story. If you have a thing for big tentacled creatures taking over a backwater town, you're in the right place.
