287 – Megan Bontrager & The Cave of Cosmic Narcissism

I hope you have your headtorch this week – cos we’re going to some deep, dark places.

 

Megan Bontrager’s debut novel, The Sea Hides its Dead, is a story of a mysterious cave, an unprepared expedition, and the monstrous secrets they find within. It’s shadowed by Lovecraft, it has big freaky monsters, and a whole deep mythology to unpick.

 

In short it’s my kinda story. The exact level of geekery I like to discuss.

 

Discuss we do. Meghan and I talk about video game inspirations, global sea cults, monsters and mysteries in The Bible, and worst of all – sleazy academics.

 

Plus, I give my honest opinion on spelunking! (It’s not favourable)

 

Enjoy
