Fans of classic horror will go ape over this mashup, that has a sacrificial victim escaping the large grasp of one character, but who finds herself in the tentacles of an altogether older menace. Fortunately, for the reader, the heroine is not a wilting blonde, but an altogether feistier gal, who is quite willing to look unspeakable horrors in the eye(s) and seeing the bright side of things.
Great stuff.
