There’s something growing deep in the old Angel Mine - something the Native Americans warned us about - And now it’s rising again.
Mitch Taylor, ex-Special Forces medic, is seeking a quiet life in the town of Eldon. Tragedy has dogged his life, and he sees the small friendly place as a second chance. But buried deep below the friendly smiles and quaint painted houses is an old abandoned mine that holds a legend of an ancient and terrible god. In the mine’s labyrinthine depths, something has been growing, something from a time of myth when ancient gods strode the Earth and mankind hadn’t even stood on two legs. But when the Earth shakes and the groundwater rises, it reaches out and those it touches begin to deform and reshape into the image of their god. Their one goal - to feed their ancient master deep below the ground.
Mitch Taylor soon finds himself fighting again, this time for the town, the ones he loves, and for his life. The Seed of Evil is a horrifying legend of an ancient god that turned out to be real.

it was far better than I was thinking, and should I have been surprised? I finished this book in under 21 hours. And more real without off into the sunset endings.

My only gripe was that the book is a bit short. I listened to it on Audible, and it was barely longer than 5 hours. I generally enjoy books in the 14 to 20-hour bracket, but Seed of Evil did not feel rushed. It set the background, developed some of the characters rather nicely and provided an ending that surprised me. I don’t want to give away spoilers, but don’t expect a typical outcome. Perhaps there will be a sequel, but I hope not. I would like the story to end where it did and leave me wondering what the consequences were.
As a novella, I wanted to rate it 4.5 stars, but rounded it up to 5 stars since the storyline was so original. Sure, there are better books, but this one surprised me. Yes, there are some clichés in the story, such as the mayor who did not want to bring in outside authorities, fearing that the town’s tourism industry would be ruined. But that is precisely what a cliché is – the expected becomes true.
I haven’t read any of Beck’s Primordia series and only the prequel of the Alex Hunter series. Still, he is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. His other books are generally outstanding and very entertaining.
Danny Montooth, as the narrator, did a sterling job. He was easy on the ear and had just enough variation in his reading to keep it interesting.
What a surprise for a novella
