Deep beneath the Thames, something is waiting to be found.
Archaeologist Ellie Shaw expects an unusual assignment when she joins a secretive expedition to the riverbed beneath Central London. Sealed inside a pressurised excavation chamber with historian Matt Larson and the project’s obsessive leader Greg Kincaid, she is told only that they’re searching for an artefact lost more than two thousand years ago.
Then they uncover the body.
Clad in ancient armour and still gripping a rusted sword, the dead warrior should be the discovery of a lifetime. But the chamber’s lights begin to fail. Communications with the surface are severed. Strange shapes move through the mud, and something enormous starts striking the walls from outside.
Soon, other bodies begin rising from the riverbed.
Trapped beneath millions of tonnes of dark water, Ellie and Matt realise that generations of people have searched for the same legendary grave – and none of them escaped. And now that the site has been disturbed, the darkness beneath London is ready to finally return to the surface.
The Dark Deep Down is a horror novella about daring mission, a lost grave – and a creature that will stop at nothing as it tries to escape.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
