Description

There are rumors that Golden Cove is haunted. That's why Joe Bierden and his crew are hired to take a group of scientists to the area for a month of research. For Joe, it's easy money. He plans to do a little fishing, some relaxing and simply enjoy the easiest gig of his life.

At least that's the plan. Sometimes easy money isn't as easy as you expect. There are things moving in the water, and ghostly apparitions which seem undeniably real.

Joe's problems get worse when he and his crew save a drowning girl who disappears only minutes later, and the scientific team captures an aquatic monster that appears almost...human. They drag it aboard and take it back to shore for experimentation, realizing only too late that the monster has a family who wants it back.

A very, very big family.

All the whispers about Golden Cove and its strange inhabitants are as true today as they were when the little fishing village had a different name and a truly dark reputation. Those who thought that the horror in Innsmouth had been vanquished one-hundred years ago were wrong.

And it just might cost Joe and his colleagues their lives.

Deeper: Sometimes there's nowhere to go but down.

Praise for James A. Moore

'James A. Moore knows how to grab the reader's nerves and squeeze until the sweat pours down and their eyes bug out'

                - Rick Hautala
                  Author of Bedbugs and Twilight Time

'Here is a talent. Here is someone to watch.'

                - Bentley Little
                  Author of The Store and The Walking

'Moore's style of writing is receptive, sardonic and laced with a lurking compassion. Right from the first page you realize that he isn't writing for you and he's not writing for the critics, he's writing for himself and to see just how much he can get away with. Perfect!'

                - Horror-web.com

'James Moore is perhaps the most talented writer of this genre to date.'

                - Midwest Book Review

'DEEPER is a fast read that will keep you going until you finish it. It is one of his most interesting storylines so far. It makes him a member of the Lovecraft Circle and I hope and pray that this is not the only foray into those territories. Some folks are comparing Moore to King and Koontz, but to me he is an American original.'
