A disturbing tale of wriggling terror

A good story, with some minor problems, sometimes the switch between plots is a bit jarring. A decent tale of a deep sea horror rising with a slight Lovecraftian feel.

Fun but rather long-winded

[Disclaimer: I'm starting to get genuinely concerned by how many books I have now read concerning worms]

This was a decent entry to the many wormy books I have read. The narration was done well, a few falters here and there that had not been edited out but generally good.

The story itself is quite a slow burner, which leads me to think that Costello has deliberately made it long-winded in the hope that SyFy will pick it up and adapt it (and let's face it, I would definitely watch it if they did).

There were a lot of characters and varying POVs which got confusing with the audio. The action took ages to happen as well. I spent far too long hoping for some gore and nastiness. When it did happen though, I was not left disappointed, but honestly it took far too long to reach that point.

Overall, a fun read but could have done with editing out all the boring bits and backstories and just concentrated on the fun and the gore, cause that iss all anyone really wants when they read a title like this (if they say otherwise, they're lying).
