Review: MUDCAT by John Quick

Summary:
In the small town of Ashford Fork, there is something unusual and dangerous lurking in the water. A severe rainstorm not only floods the town and takes out the bridges that connect Ashford to the outside world, it also releases the monster from the lake into the flooded streets.

This was just fun to read. Like a cheesy B-movie monster fest but with characters who don't do the stupidest thing imaginable to make you groan. The author is obviously a fan of the same great Saturday morning movies I grew up on.

If you ask his wife, John Quick is compelled to tell stories because he’s full of baloney. He prefers to think he simply has an affinity for things that are strange, disturbing, and terrifying. As proof, he will explain how he suffered Consequences, transcribed The Journal of Jeremy Todd, and regaled the tale of Mudcat. He lives in Middle Tennessee with his aforementioned long-suffering wife, two
