A grieving mother.
A monster.
A ship crewed by the damned.
The Thing swam out of the magma in the Earth's core and clawed its way up through the San Andreas Fault on the night that a chunk of the California coast sank into the Pacific. Millions died, including the two children of Lucille 'Ceely' Bennett, an accomplished engineer stranded in rural Montana when the cataclysm occurred. Ceely builds a submarine, complete with mechanical arms and a set of harpoons -the biggest on the market- with the intention of going down among the ruins of Los Angeles to collect her daughters' bodies. A mother's love and fury drive her to hunt the creature across oceans and decades in this tale of grief and revenge.
This story explores the darkest side of unconditional love in a cerebral and unconventional take on the horror genre.
