Thank you to the author for providing a review copy.
What a ride this book is! It is a pretty slow burn, and I admit I almost DNF'd around the middle of the book. I'm glad I pushed through, though, because ultimately I enjoyed it quite a lot. Some of my favorite horror tropes are ancient evil, evil in a small town, cults, and cosmic horror. Deep combines those themes and manages to weave them into quite a unique story. Despite some stilted dialogue, this is a very impressive debut and I look forward to reading more from the author in the future.
