B) Maybe. I have to tell you, though, I really do think there's a lot of horror mixed in with Long's thrills. I understand that the Wiki-research may have thrown you off, but I also think you'd appreciate how discovering the Hadals influences American culture--they essentially declare war on Hell, crawling up the earth's ass to fight the Vietnam of all Vietnams for shaky, shaky reasons. They start calling themselves Templars, for God's sake. And Hadal culture turns out to be really...interesting, too, both biologically and otherwise. And things don't necessarily go the way you think they will, once the taint of the Abyss soaks into everybody's pores. (Plus, in the sequel--Deeper--there's a reverse Children's Crusade.)
