FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN

A DARK FANTASY/HORROR/ADVENTURE NOVEL
A man falls asleep on a river raft tube and drifts out to sea, where he is found and devoured by a titan of unbelievable size. But rather than death, what Owen finds inside is a community of fellow survivors carving out a life amidst the flotsam and flesh of the impossible Leviathan.

There seems to be no hope of escape until another devoured soul arrives, kickstarting a chain of events that reveals to the survivors that their damnable fates are tied to a mysterious cult that lives in deathless splendor in the ivory halls of New Atlantis.

For readers who enjoy cosmic horror, nautical adventure, and all who feel trapped in the belly of the beast, Feast of the Pale Leviathan may be your next beloved literary journey.
