About this listen

When a sink hole opens up near the Australian outback town of Pintalba, it uncovers a pristine cave system. Sam joins an expedition to explore the subterranean passages as paramedic support, hoping to remain unneeded at base camp. But, when one of the cavers is injured, he must overcome paralyzing claustrophobia to dive pitch-black waters and squeeze through the bowels of the earth.

Soon he will find there are fates worse than being buried alive, for in the abandoned mines and caves beneath Pintalba, there are ravenous teeth in the dark.

As a savage predator targets the group with hideous ferocity, Sam and his friends must fight for their lives if they are ever to see the sun again.

The story itself is alright and would make a decent film but for me it just took too long to get in to the main story of actually getting in to the cavern and I found it frustrating that the story was told from so many different perspectives. I enjoyed it for a free read from the plus catalogue but I'm glad I didn't buy it.

Slow to the actual story

A great story, however at some times predictable. A good narration to go with the parts of the story.

Twists and Turns

Albeit the kind of concept I've heard before, I like the Australian setting. Just shakes things up a bit and gives an immediate difference and No-nonsense approach to the characters. Narration was consistent, lively and not grating (kinda sounds like Be. Busta from YouTube)
Cracking listen if you're a fellow creature-feature fan!

Smashing alien-creature feature

Great characters, good plot twists, no guarantee of whom might survive, landscape and back drops well described and brought to life, easy to imagine you being there and the terror at every turn, would highly recommend, kept me hooked till the finish...or is it?

Why not to explore caves

This story was fun. Plenty gory..but not as suspensful as it could have been. A worthwhile creature feature though and entertaining.

Good read

good and free and would have been even better if the narrator changed how he delivered each line but that might be accent related? overall great and ive paid more for less

unusual to find a fun creature horror

The narrator was great, but I found the material to be so distinctly average.
I’ve read worse, but I’ve also read much, much better.

Meh..

As a diver and caver the story stretches beyond the realms of what would actually take place when it comes to safety.
Sadly the narrator didn't gel with me. I felt each line was being overforced, although the voices for the people were believable. I stuck it to the end, so it wasn't that bad.

Not quite believable, and told in an odd style.

Not the biggest fan of the writing or the style of reading by the narrator, but an interesting idea. Moments of discomfort and tension that made for a good horror, but overall lacking something.

Interesting conceit

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
this is a decent horror creature feature, just needed a bit more suspense and menace.

good
