Seven years ago, when Imagine Entertainment sent a mockumentary team out to the Mariana Trench about the Atargatis they found just how real mermaids were, but with no survivors and only unbelievable leaked video footage to tell their story, the incident is either considered a tragic accident at sea or derided as a hoax.

And a book about a fictional character isn't exactly gonna make me believe either, but I doubt that is the point of it. It's about faith and religion and christianity, but I don't believe in that at all. I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to "get out of" this book. I enjoyed it a lot when I was reading it, it was just a very slow read for me (also there were three days last week where I didn't read at all.

I finished Stephen King's It in less time than that, for fuck sake. ![]() I kinda wish I hated this book given how long it took me to finish it. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can also find Beekeeper Confidential on Facebook and Instagram.
