BOOK DESCRIPTION
When Rich stumbles upon a secret Victorian underground network, he sees not only a great historical discovery, but also a way out of his humdrum life.
He convinces three of his friends to join him, and together they venture deep into the maze of tunnels beneath London’s bustling streets.
A rude girl made good. An aspiring writer. A cinema usher from Wales. A bookseller who dreams of being an urban explorer. Four friends trapped together in one nightmarish situation as they realise some things are kept secret for a reason.
Will any of them manage to escape the horror that lurks in the DEEP LEVEL?
In this intense,spine chilling,debut horror,four friend's adventure into the hidden world below the streets of London turns into a terrifying nightmare when they end up fighting for their lives after they encounter a ancient evil that has been trapped below the hustle and bustle of everyday life for decades.
Rich, Syeeda, Ffion and Rosalind were four realistic characters who each had their own unique individual personalities and character traits. I would say that Rich was my least favourite member of the quartet,there was times when he came across as a bit of a introvert. The three women were full of fun and I loved the closeness between them and the way that they teased each other during many of their interactions. But how many,if any members of The Exploresome Foursome as they name themselves will live to tell the tale of the horrors hiding in the dark.
There is a fifth narrator in this tale,someone who lived decades ago and worked in a world of debauchery,a rich man's playground where anything could be bought if you were prepared to pay the price, the underprivileged were treated with disdain and people were prepared to betray anyone,even their own mother if the price was right. (If you think about it,even with the passing of time,nothing much has changed in that regard) This person also found themselves in a terrifying situation that would change their life forever but who was this person and how did their story fit in with the events that were unfolding in the present day?
Wow...just,wow, this is a extremely well written debut, it's intense,atmospheric,spine chilling and makes your skin crawl in places but is also laced with moments of humour. It's perfectly paced and the story had me hooked in from the first page and glued to my kindle. I would love to watch a film adaptation of this captivating book and would give it far more than five stars if I could. One of my favourite reads of this year so far and I look forward to reading many more of this author's books in the future. very very highly recommended.
AUTHOR BIO
By day, Richard E. Rock works as a commercial scriptwriter for radio and contributes ideas to Viz Comic. But by night...he writes horror.
He was inspired to do this after experiencing a series of particularly ferocious nightmares. After waking up and realising he could turn these into utterly horrible stories, he started deliberately inducing them.
Based in Wales, he lives with his girlfriend and their cat. If you’re looking for him, you’ll probably find him wedged up against the barrier at a heavy metal gig, for that is his natural habitat.
