bookfrogApparently the movie of the same name was based on this novel--which is weird, because the movie is way more scary and disturbing. The novel reads more like a pointless sequel to the movie.
Okay, so there are these monstrous albino creatures living underground. And the creatures eat or enslave human beings. And at first humans are at a disadvantage. But then the creatures start disappearing. A power-mad politician/industrialist sends an expedition to explore the new territory underground.
This novel has a few very scary scenes, but they happen mainly at the beginning of the book. After that it is pretty much like any other thriller.
