Shaw-Lite | Horror Review | AstraDaemon

Over the last few months a series of earthquakes have been rumbling from deep within the trench. Curious to know why, and the impact they are having, a team of scientists start an expensive expedition down into the depths. Funded by a billionaire - who is going along for the ride in his specially designed submarine - the team head beneath the ocean's choppy waves with the world watching.

Little do they know that 7 miles beneath the ocean's surface, their nightmares await and their world will never be the same again.

THE MARIANA TRENCH by Matt Shaw is not nearly as shocking or graphic as his other stories, such as FROM THE FLAMES or OCTOPUS. This story is more of a creature feature, and this author usually does better with people being the monsters. However, the ending gave me legit nightmares. (For context, OCTOPUS 3 is the last Shaw story which traumatized me.)

There are references to his other novella, BELOW DECK, which is far more entertaining and horrific, in my opinion.Maybe I would feel differently, if I had read this one first. In any case, I'd love to see more stories surrounding the major event in this novella.

As always,
