Whalefall by Daniel Kraus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well now. This was surprisingly pretty great. And while I don't know the actual science or biology nearly as well as this author seems to, I couldn't find anything wrong with any of it.

And that is terrifying.

Just to imagine getting swallowed by a sperm whale. Surviving.

Of course, there's a lot more story here, and it's a good horror in all the old traditions. As body horror, it ought to reign pretty supreme. Whose body, though? Muahahahahahaha

Definitely worth the read.

I definitely do NOT know how they'll adapt this to a movie where you can get all the internal stuff from the page onto the screen, but I'm pretty sure they'll get the other internals pretty well.

Don't eat before seeing this movie. I'm sure this will be reasonable advice.
