Review IncBut the exploration of labor in this period is fascinating the horror backdrop is just icing on the cake From the Belly If you re looking for a book that will make your skin crawl this is it The creepy imagery was perfection it was made even better by having a couple of illustrations in the book as well There s just something about the specific type of body horror used in this story that just gets me every time I love it so much Also the overall message of this novel really resonated with me and I need people to read it From the Belly From the Belly is a book filled with cool imagery ultimately hampered by its pace and repetition The setting most of the characters and the overall idea are great Like all Tenebrous Press releases the cover is beautiful The commentary on humanity feels accurate and relevant and it was nice to see the queer representation and gender diversity However I struggled with caring at all about the main protagonist Isaiah is dull and not fun to spend time with one of the least interesting characters on the page The book also drags its feet when it comes to the story In an attempt to build suspense and tension things just stretch out and begin to feel repetitive to the point of boredom Perhaps it was an attempt to make the reader feel like they were a part of the Merciful crew performing the same tasks and viewing the same horizon as each day runs into the next I don t know if that being purposeful would improve my impression of it though Overall not a bad read but it would have been a lot better if it had been novella length like the other releases from the publisher I would be interested to check out future releases by the author From the Belly Review originally on JamReadsFrom The Belly is a queer nautical horror novel written by Emmett Nahill published by Tenebrous Press The kind of title you could expect from a press that has embraced the weirdness as their main defining point fusing high sea horror and body horror in company with a compelling and bizarre queer romance that will leave your spine tingling. In my daddy's belly book The novel is entirely set in the Merciful a whaling ship in an expedition that most of the sailors hope that will help them to void their debts to the company under the command of the accurately named captain Coffin a descendant of a accommodated family who soon shows his contempt to those crewing his ship making them work until exhaustion But his greed will be part of what will be unleashed when a big catch happens and a mysterious man is found inside the whale surprisingly alive Isaiah one of the sailors deemed as weird by the others is tasked to share his rations with the man. From the bellywise jogja The meetings between Isaiah and the mysterious man will lead first toward animosity and a confrontation but as long as the disgrace hovers over the Merciful they will be attracted towards the other sharing their strangeness as the common point that creates a ground between them Isaiah has a complicated relationship with the mystical elements partly due to how he was traumatized by the past but it is strangely mesmerising how Nahill manages to draw us towards these scenes. From the belly of my beauty Parallel to this subplot we can see how the Merciful and their crew are submerged into a desperate situation one that early shows how it will end similarly to the Demeter in Dracula you can feel the hopelessness and dread taking over the boat paired with particularly well written body horror scenes and a bit of aquatic horror From The Belly is an excellent horror novel which fits perfectly the philosophy of Tenebrous Press if you are looking for something different and whose quality is over the roof you should give it a try After reading this kind of book I can t wait to deep dive into Nahill s books because there s talent here From the Belly This was one of my my most anticipated books of the year and it did not disappoint Fantastic atmosphere dark and haunting in exactly the way I expect from historical sea tales and deliciously queer From the Belly From the Belly is on its face a tale of ocean horror on a whaling ship but as befits stories from indie horror maestros Tenebrous Press this is a beautifully weird tale a bizarrely compelling romance fused with a deeply disturbing tale of deep sea vengeance and aquatic body horror It s as nail bitingly tense as it is half submerged in dreams. From the bells tolls tab The tale takes place entirely on a whaling vessel crewed with sailors desperate to write off their debts to the whaling company by killing as many whales as possible and captained by the marvellously named Captain Coffin who we quickly learn is not the most cheerful of captains and thoroughly deserves the nominative determinism of his surname When the crew find a man somehow still alive in the belly of one of their whale catches strange things start to befall the ship even though the new crewmember is safely locked in the brig Crewmate Isiah who has a great deal of strangeness about him himself begins to regularly visit this strange new guest while the situation on the ship gets worse and worse. From the Belly kindle reader Some of the most striking scenes of this novel are these compelling face offs between Isiah and the mystery man at once loaded with danger yet also increasingly melded with a strange kind of connection The this connection is explored the compelling their bond grows and the must read these scenes become I was entranced by the strange discordant tone between their growing care for each other and the increasingly nauseating events happening to the other crew members. From the belly of the beast wow As the events on the ship grow serious in danger we are plunged into a desperately tense situation with lashings of aquatic horror creeping horror dream like horror and ultimately a great deal of body horror a nightmarish concoction which bubbles away for a long time but ultimately rewards the patient reader with a feverish dream of ocean hell The sense of vengeance hangs over this tale but there is deep humanity here too and the question of how deserving the ship s crew are of the ending seemingly coming their way. From the bellyplay13 Aside from the brilliantly compelling relationship between possible villain and protagonist I was entranced by the sense of inevitability and tragedy laced into this story Nahil conveys this with a combination of dreamlike prose and utterly horrific imagery. From the belly of the jelly wow Overall this a strong entry from the eclectic and gleefully bizarre Tenebrous stable a story of tentative passion fused with ancient vengeance This will get inside your head Let it From the Belly From the Belly is written from the heart in this high sea horror that pits humanity against nature a biting critique of capitalism set against a backdrop of gruesome body horror and supernatural mystery set entirely on a ship the author does a fantastic job at creating a claustrophobic atmosphere any sense of safety is thrown overboard as the horrors start immediatley and don t cease there is a constant dread bubbling beneath the surface that kept my timbers shivered From the Belly In this chilling evocative and creepy novel a whaling ship slowly descends into madness hunger and chaos after a mysterious man is taken aboard Right off the bat you get a sense of unease as the whaling ship discovers that its latest catch contains than fat and meat A man falls from the belly of the whale and miraculously he s still alive Isaiah is tasked with looking after the man after the captain decides to put the man in the brig below There s something not quite right about this stranger And as crew members begin to be affected in increasingly bloody and terrifying ways Isaiah feels himself connected to this man even as others on board see him as a curse As crew members succumb to an impossible illness and the stores are ravaged by rot the tension is higher than ever If the sea or hunger doesn t get them maybe a curse will This novel is set entirely on this ship and the author does a fantastic job at really putting the reader right beside the crew It s claustrophobic atmosphere and dangers around every corner keeps your eyes glued to the pages The mysterious man at the center of it all is surrounded by the unknown and the connection between him and Isaiah is slowly revealed throughout the book taking you to unexpected places Secrets await on this ship from other characters as well When things start turning nasty it becomes a matter of survival at any cost and blood will be shed This is a great horror book set on the high sea and I highly recommend it I received an ARC of this book from the publisher with no consideration This review is voluntary and is my own personal opinion From the Belly Aquatic horror for the win And that cover. In my daddy's belly book I just knew I had to have it A whaling ship gets than they bargain for when a barely alive man spills out of the belly of their first kill Under the captain s orders the unconscious stranger is locked in the brig and crewmate Isiah is tasked with splitting his rations with the man until they can decide what to do with him Once the rescued man awakens strange things begin to happen on board The Merciful and the crew starts to slowly descend into madness as they begin to show signs of mysterious and frightening illnesses Though he cannot immediately prove it Isiah knows this is not just a string of bad luck and believes the enigmatic man they locked away below deck is somehow behind it all and if his dreams are anything to go by him and Isaiah Chase something about tortured souls aboard a ship whose only purpose is to torture and murder whales really drew me in Poseidon was asleep during the whaling era The Man From The Belly of the whale was not The word preternatural was used way too much after it made it s debut close to the third quarter of the book Plot Storyline Themes Ah yes Get even Even Steven Square The chaotic beauty of slow marinating revenge sanctioned by The Gods Below is a far better tool for karma. From the belly of my beauty So if you find a dead man in a whale maybe check that he s dead first before talking smack about him and threatening to throw him overboard See I love a story about vengeance and this feels not just like vengeance or revenge this feels like beautiful terrifying wrath I love it Plus I hate whalers so I m okay with everyone on the Merciful suffering Two Sentences A Scene or less Characters Captain Coffin is a powertripping alcoholic nepo baby trash Man fvck him.
