Welcome to the first recommendation posts for the Creature Feature Readathon, I will be doing one of these for every prompt. I will also be including what I will be reading for each prompt instead of doing a specific TBR post. Hopefully these will help anyone struggling to think of something for any of the prompts.

Will Work For: The Depths Below, I Have Become the Monster
100 fathoms below …
The depth at which sunlight no longer penetrates the ocean.
The US nuclear submarine USS Roanoke embarks on a classified spy mission into Soviet waters. Their goal: to find evidence of a new, faster, and deadlier Soviet submarine that could tip the balance of the Cold War. But the Roanoke crew isn’t alone. Something is on board with them. Something cunning and malevolent.
Trapped in enemy territory and hunted by Soviet submarines, tensions escalate and crew members turn on each other. When the lights go out and horror fills the corridors, it will take everything the crew has to survive the menace coming from outside and inside the submarine.
In the dark.

Will Work For: The Depths Below, It’s a Conspiracy!, B-Movie Star, No One Ever Listens to the Expert…
t was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holiday makers. The first sign of trouble a warning of what was to come took the form of a young woman’s body, or what was left of it, washed up on the long, white stretch of beach.
A summer of terror has begun.
