| Summary |
"The Sea Horror" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of deep-sea exploration and the ensuing horrors that come with uncovering the mysteries of the ocean's depths. A foreboding sense of dread permeates the narrative as it follows an expedition that leads to an existential threat to humanity due to forces beyond its understanding. The story centers around Dr. Herbert Clinton and his ill-fated expedition aboard the submarine "K-16" to explore the largely uncharted Nelsen Deeps in the Atlantic Ocean. Initially, their research showcases exciting new species but soon leads to an astonishing discovery: a vast, ancient city populated by humanoid slug-like beings. As the expedition members uncover the creatures' plans to replenish the Earth’s dwindling oceans through massive generators, they realize that these actions could submerge the world in water. The narrative escalates into a desperate race against time as Clinton and his team attempt to thwart these plans, ultimately culminating in a climactic battle that decides the fate of humanity.
