Altered by the Abyss Creature
Dr. Sharpe should have died in the hadal depths.
Weeks after a catastrophic deep-sea incident, he returns to civilization carrying more than trauma from the ocean floor. The dry air burns his lungs. His skin cracks without saltwater. Every hour spent on land feels increasingly unbearable, as if his body is rejecting the surface itself.
The doctors can’t explain the changes overtaking him.
But the ocean can.
Drawn back to the isolated coastline night after night, Dr. Sharpe discovers he is no longer alone beneath the waves. Ancient abyssal creatures wait in the dark, watching him with patient intelligence as his transformation accelerates. Their tentacles soothe the agony wracking his changing body, guiding him through a metamorphosis that is as intimate as it is irreversible.
The deeper he surrenders to the creatures and the crushing embrace of the ocean, the less human he becomes. And somewhere in the pressure and silence of the abyss, Elias realizes he may never have belonged to the surface world at all.
Altered by the Abyss Creature is a dark MM tentacle transformation romance featuring deep-sea body horror, biological adaptation, oceanic claiming, non-human intimacy, and surrender to the abyss.
