Just rent 'The Blob' as it was more enjoyable than this book.The blob or "sludge worms" are dead people who were drowned in a hurricane in the 1800s.  They have created one big oil sludge creature, and they are not happy.  A hurricane wakes them and pulls them to the surface where they feast on almost every living human in the Galveston/Houston area.  The only things that can hurt it are fire and a spirit channeling grandma and granddaughter.It was long and drawn out.  They spend a lot of time channeling and fleeing.  The characters were flat.  The action was how to flee.  The premise lacked excitement.  Angry sludge is not a thrill fest.The blob just did not spark anything for me.  Excuse me, I mean sludge worms.  The sludge worms oozed up stairs, oozed into ventilation, and oozed into pipes.  It may or may not be mindless.  It wanted to feed.I just could not get excited.
