About this listen

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!

Ooh. Intriguing, creepy and poignant

Love how the author weaves in fact with fiction.
Very exciting and tense.
Narration did let it down but I still really it

Wow

Loved this book! Mystery, intrigue, gore, coupling up, fantastical wonder.
Definitely a book that I would recommend. It took a little time to get going but still draws you in fully and immerses you in the Catacombs with them.

better readers needed

this is a great story but the narration was bad. awful monotonous cadence and an inability to pronounce words like nuclear, escape, shone and more really took me out of the story.

kind of predictablebut good

so the plot was a little predictable compared to the first book but it was still worth a listen although I think it would be better with more than one narrator at times

So not what I hoped it would be.

The accents! If you’re going to have French characters portrayed and the text has French names, phrases… choose a narrator who has some clue… the voices too… there’s so much female dialogue… female, French dialogue…. Read in a deep, flat American voice. Very poor.
