Thank you. Welcome to Tales to Terrify. Welcome to Tales to Terrify. Good evening, Children of the Night.

I just wrapped up Nick Cutters, The Deep. I had read his The Troop and really enjoyed it. The Troop does have some themes that give it a real lower-the-flies feel that I enjoyed. The Deep shares some thematic elements with John Carpenter's The Thing, and I think you might

Under the Dome had an enormous cast of characters, which The Deep does not, but there are some elements

to the story that allude to something greater, some of which gets explained to the audience and

other parts that we are left guessing.

Check this one out.
