Motz Nailed It

MELT by Christopher Motz is a mix of sci-fi and horror, and so much better than any version of The Blob movies. Imagine if John Carpenter and H.P. Lovecraft made a film together, and you'll have a pretty good idea what kind of epic nightmare the author has unleashed upon the residents of Ditchburn.

Greg is a fantastic character. If you weren't Greg at some point in your life, you knew someone just like him. As a result, his POV reveals a more personal level to this creature feature. The ending is unpredictable, kind of like falling down a rough hillside and hoping you survive the fall.

As is, I'm fine with this novella as a stand-alone, but I wouldn't say no to a sequel. I hope we see more work from Motz in 2020.

As always,
