Kent and Kaufman have set a milestone in modern horror by writing a retro 80’s novel, using conventions from today’s horror whilst using a staple from the genre. This is a very impressive treat for the reader creating a world that is tangible.

The authors have really done their research whilst at the same time, never bogging the novel down in descriptive text. This is an incredible feat that would fail from a novice writer but in the hands of these two very accomplished authors, it really excels. They also take a run of the mill horror staple which invades the submarine and lift this to a truly original novel.

The characters are very strong and with a large cast, it is quite a challenge to make each and everyone an individual which is successfully done within the pages. The plot is fast moving and interesting and as mentioned above, the attention to detail is above par.

Normally in a novel of this ilk, we get novels that tend to be heavily laden with cardboard cut outs with a paper thin plot but 100 Fathoms Below does away with this and lifts a fundamentally good old fashion novel in a modernistic tone. The energy and thought process put into this novel is second to none and it is also impressive to note that this is two authors who are working together in tandem.

This excellent masterful tale of a navel personnel trapped in submarine nightmare is second to none and should find its status with the horror community. It is also important to note that this novel also very much works as a military thriller and also heavily works in the dark fiction genre.

Masterfully written, exciting to read, 100 Fathoms is a must for all fans of the genre. Working on many levels to give the community a novel to hunger for more. Excellent and original.

So much action took place in this book! WOW!!! When the Roanoke submarine submerges all hell breaks loose. One many who no longer remember what took place the following evening is sick and not sure why. When odd things start happening such as lights being smashed and mirrors being broken the crew starts to wonder what's going on. Crew members are going missing and some are now dead. Or are they? Jerry and Tim, two crew members are trying to save the remaining crew and the Roanoke which is now in Soviet Waters. I forgot to mention... It is the 1980's and the Cold War is still going on. I absolutely loved the writing of these two authors and will be looking for more from both of them. I am giving this story and 4.5-star review rounded to 5.

Just recently started loving books like this, it sort of drew me in, because of the Meg submarine aspect, but was much different, but still absolutely a story I thought was well written and haunting, Will be doing a more thorough and high recommendation in Chapter Chatter pub, closer to publication.

If you're Navy, on a submarine, don't go to a bordello. You never know what you may bring back to the boat. Warren Stubic is not intending to go to shore to get drunk or fight. He wants a woman. He met a girl in the alley who have him an address so he decides to visit her. Once there he is led into a room for pleasure, but gets more than he bargained for.. Imagine being a 100 fathoms below water with sailors being turned into vampires.. This is horror at it's best. In a bad situation and can't get out.. The sailors are brave and do what they need to do. Will the vampires take over the ship and kill everyone? It's a great book. I loved the premise. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise
