A Horror Fiction Review by Joe Ortlieb

Everyone talks about books should have trigger warnings so people know what they are in for. It Came From the Sea is just such a book. So the trigger warning is... Don't read this book at the beach or near the ocean...

So I'm not a big cosmic horror fan. I feel it's a style that truly needs to be done well to be good. If not then it's just a bunch of words about weird space things. Matt Wildasin does it well infact with it came he kills it.

I was drawn into the story after the first few pages, what was going to happen next. What is it that's in the ocean

What happens if you drink the water. I had to find out. I didn't want to put this down.

The way Matt weaves the words together is like a magician doing magic tricks.

It's easily in my top 10 reads for the year. Without a doubt top 5 cosmic horror stories I've read. So buy it just don't read it before you head to the beach. Watch out for fish people, boil your water, kick back and enjoy this trip to the beach. Jaws made you not want to get in the water, It Came From the Sea will make you not want to go within a hundred miles of the ocean.

Shortly after its arrival, the town's water is tainted with unknown toxic elements. The main beaches are closed and summertime activities are at a standstill. As time passes, people start being drawn to the beaches against their will,strange mangled creatures emerge from the ocean, and a few folks find out what happens when you drink the water.
The tides turns deadly for Ocean Coast when...It Came from the Sea!
