Sharkasaurus

by Spencer Estabrooks, illustrated by Jethro Morales

tagged: media tie-in, horror, fairy tales, folklore, legends & mythology
Description

Faith and facts collide on a Creationist-themed golf course when the daughter of a widowed Creationist falls for the adopted son of a gay paleontologist. Unbeknownst to the lovers, a prehistoric dino-shark has emerged from hibernation leaving a trail of death and destruction. Will the creationist and paleontologist settle their ideological differences or will Sharkasaurus devour them all?

The theme of Sharkasaurus is evolution. All central characters go through a transformation or metamorphosis. When faced with the might and awesome power of Sharkasaurus, stubborn characters are forced to work together, adapt and become the best versions of themselves before they are killed in a terrifyingly hideous way.
