Seabed's Nectar Made Fresh For You!

So here's this new possible viral Cloverfield/1-18-08 website: Tagruato.

Tagruato is supposedly a Japanese company that does everything from deep sea drilling (including a site on the mid-Atlantic ridge opening in September 2007) to Slusho to microbiology.

Couldn't help but notice the only non-Cloverfield reference to Tagruato (which doesn't seem to be a Japanese word by the way) is on menuism.com.

Check it out.
"...It contained the finest ingredients money can buy, from fresh bay leaves imported by a company called Fotopoulos Herb Gardens in Crete, to something the Japanese call “kaitei no mitsu”, or “Seabed’s Nectar”, shipped in dry ice by a company out of Honshu called Tagruato..."

On the unfiction.com forums there's a reference to the new 1-18-08.com picture that references "Sea Bottoms Bee Nectar" as a possible translation of one phrase.

So, may or may not be legit. Probably is. Not sure about Menuism. Kinda gutsy to post a viral ad on someone's website...unless it is your own... ;)

PS - Anagram for Seabed's Nectar = Beast Reascend.

"Dead Sea" by Brian Keene

Anyway. Yeah, another Keene zombie novel. "Dead Sea" isn't related to "The Rising" and "City of the Dead" except in a vague sort of manner. There are some scenes that seem to overlap between the Rising series and "Dead Sea".This is because Keene is building a sort of mythology. There are some details in his novel "Ghoul" and more information on his website about the Keene-iverse."Dead Sea" is okay. Parts of it are quite good, much of it seems rather uninspired. The prose is uneven, with some being a pleasure to read and other sections being less so.I'd rate it 3.5 on a scale of 1-5. Its a good short summer read if you're looking for a way to kill a few hours. On the plus side, some of the scenes are absolutely cool. On the down side, some of the scenes are mind-numbingly boring.Might want to check it out.
