Publisher's Summary

Over one million readers have taken the journey to the world's scariest places. Now it's your turn.

From USA Today and number one Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Bates comes a bone-chilling descent into the tunnels beneath Paris where an unknown evil awaits. AHWA winner for horror. For fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

Paris, France, is known as the City of Lights, a metropolis renowned for romance and beauty. Beneath the bustling streets and cafés, however, exists the Catacombs, a labyrinth of crumbling tunnels filled with six million dead.

When a video camera containing mysterious footage is discovered deep within their depths, a group of friends venture into the tunnels to investigate. But what starts out as a lighthearted adventure takes a turn for the worse when they reach their destination - and stumble upon the evil lurking there.

Although in a series, this is a stand-alone novel. For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Richard Laymon, and Bentley Little, as well as other horror and mystery authors such as Dan Simmons, Jack Ketchum, Robert McCammon, Brian Keene, Darcy Coates, Amy Cross, Jeff Strand, Ambrose Ibsen, Jeremy Robinson, Nick Cutter, Blake Crouch, Joe Hill, Iain Rob Wright, Jeff Menapace, Matt Shaw, Heather Graham, Jack Kilborn, and James Herbert. We hope you enjoy!

Creepy and Not in a Good Way

SPOILERS

The plot was alright, kinda creepy and I’lol probably think about it a lot (that’s good). But the unexpected sex scenes where the narrator would fake a feminine french accent was just off putting. It also described a child giving a handjob to a grown man which definitely made me uncomfortable.
Other things that the author wrote wouldnt have logically happened, like lipless people pronouncing words properly.
The narrator also consistently pronounced “escape” as “eXcape” which drove me crazy.
