- SamBam 3y agoHuh! There is a YA novel I really like, The Girl Who Drank The Moon, and this casts that in a very interesting light. There is a bog -- a swamp -- that covers the known world, and this bog is treated in a religious way by the author as the embodiment of nature, of the fertility of the world. The bog also spawns a bog monster, who may have been the first living creature. "In the beginning, there was the Bog. And the Bog covered the world and the Bog was the world and the world was the Bog."
