The Kraken : a giant octopus, a legendary squid born from real sightings. It comes into play in the second half of the novel, during the story narrated by Kevin. Credible? Starting from the assumption that very little is still known about what lives in the depths of the sea and that around Baltimore the whole world was flooded, yes, it didn't create any problems for me in the story. The mermaid : I must say that Brian Keene knew how to use the words well to introduce this mythological figure into the novel, which is mentioned by children, creatures who according to adults are always used to telling lies or have an unbridled imagination.
But where did the siren come from? How do you justify her presence in a real world and in that precise context? In no way. The Satanists : criminal Special Data madmen who create many problems for Kevin and his companions. If they were first introduced as disturbing characters, then the protagonists of our story began to believe that the apocalypse was their fault. That the kraken and the mermaid had been summoned by them. Earl , the revenant: It took a lot of bullets to put him down, but this one might be passable. A man with a tough exterior and an even stronger will.
How he could find all that energy is a bit of a mystery, but let's say it might be passable. But not the mermaid. I really couldn't stomach it. She clashes with everything else. I can't place it in the story. I can't see the point of it. While it may seem exaggerated to try to find normality, reality, logic, even scientific explanation in a fantasy novel, I like that every story, however fictional, horror or science fiction it may be, has its own credibility. And just as every story must have its credibility, so every element of the story must have its foundation and justification. And above all its usefulness.
