A review by tarshka
The Black by Paul E. Cooley

dark tense fast-paced

4.0

I liked the creature a lot, because I am very partial to underwater horror and big monster creatures that are just doing their thing and become incredibly dangerous when people stumble across them. This one doesn't take place much underwater, but it's still out in the middle of the sea. 

It did leave me with a question/thought:

Are other ocean oil spots in the story world actually more of these creatures, but ones that have died, thus why they aren't dangerous? Maybe the sequels will touch on this, maybe they won't. It doesn't matter but it's fun to wonder.
