Deep: A Creature Feature Horror Novella

by Denise A. Agnew

A novella based on the terrifying screenplay... (This is a stand alone story with cliffhanger ending to stay true to the screenplay. No sequel.) “The Earth is flat.” --FACT from 600 BC “There are no such things as monsters.” --FACT from 2019 What we don't know will KILL us—death comes from the DEEP. New York City. A day like any other. Earthquakes rattle ten city occupants out of their morning routine and cause instant unease. Authorities say it’s nothing to be worried about, but soon they discover that’s a lie. The earthquakes bring together a former SAS soldier, three professors, an abused teen, three bank robbers, a grandmother, and a seismologist as they struggle to survive when another quake destroys the subway they are in. Trapped in their stalled subway car, their prejudices, strengths and weaknesses create instant friction. But that is nothing compared to the challenge they are about to face when huge monsters are awakened from their long stasis by the quakes…and are now rampaging through the subway tunnels.

Reviews

[Terry and dog · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this. I have a thing for subterranean horror and this fit the bill. Add earthquake and being trapped underground and it's taken up a notch. I would have liked more monster, but the atmosphere was good.

Good fast read

Kept my attention. Good plot and character development. A sequel would be nice. Could use some editing for misspellings but didn’t detract from story.
