I want to start this review by first recommending readers ignore the cover, which is awful. The story is better than the representation.
Muk is a seasoned short-story writer and The Demon Seed is one of his newer tales. In regards to length, I would classify this story as a novella.
What was good about this story is that Muk is a decent writer and I enjoyed this Supernatural world fan-fiction tale. It is a ride or die kind of story. You are immediately thrust into the action, so the story flows quickly. I was never bored and I felt that it could have been a spin-off episode of the Supernatural show, where you follow different/new hunters.
What needed work was the classification of what a Bubog was, the evil creatures of the story. They sounded like vampires. I was initially confused why he was renaming vampires. However, as the story progressed, I was able to piece together that essentially they were demon spawn that had fangs and fed off blood, and they were obsessed with reproducing creepy little bubog babies. So maybe like a vampire cousin?
Additionally. I would have really enjoyed more information about Taylor and Jan, the main protagonists and evil killing duo. I felt that I would have been more invested in the story and their kickass-ness, if I knew more about them. It would help me care more about their journey.
I feel Muk is a writer to watch as he gains experience as a storyteller. I will be interested to see how he grows in the years to come.
If you are looking for a story in the vein of monster hunting, then this tale is worth checking out. It is a good lunch break read. Keep your eyes out because I think we will continue to see more from Muk in the future as he refines his craft.
I do feel based on the length of the story that the price on Amazon is a bit steep.
