Harvest Deep
by Trent Pettry
Genre: Horror
My Review
Things don’t go well for these people. Sent to do a news assignment, Liz, her husband, and another couple, close friends, load up her mother’s fancy RV and head to Mammoth, Utah to find a story. They get one they weren’t counting on and may not make it out alive to tell.
I’ve always thought an abandoned mine was a good setting for horror stories. For these character’s, it turns out the mine is a working one, and what’s inside is their worst nightmare. What dwells deep inside, aside from the humans who want them dead to cover up their secret, is hellish in nature. Confirms my instincts when entering a cave. I don’t belong there.
This had a lot going for it. The character’s were likeable and the plot was a good one, but I felt it needed a little more in one area. The things in the cave. Maybe it’s just me. I love creature action. But, I felt like there should have been more scenes with them. They’re monstrously creepy and the encounters were intense when they happened.
The author mentions his story was inspired by true events. It added to my curiosity and the encounter he shared was eerie.
I enjoyed this creepy story and will be watching to see what else the author writes. If this story appeals to you at all, I’d recommend you give it a go. I had fun.

Synopsis
Something deep in the earth has evolved…
Hidden in the West Desert of Utah, the gold rush town of Mammoth is a shell of its former glory. But for Liz Chilton, a photojournalist on assignment, it’s the place she was born and where her mother grew up. Forty years after fleeing the area, Liz seeks to reconnect with her now-deceased mother’s past.
The unspeakable, concealed in darkness…
What begins as an adventurous road trip for Liz, her husband, and another couple, takes a horrific turn when they discover a slaughtered man at an RV park. Something has partially consumed him—something inhuman.
The group is dragged into a twisted conspiracy tied to the old family mine, marked by a massive hole on the side of the mountain. Confronted by her mother’s hidden past and the mine’s dark purpose, Liz and her friends must fight to survive or fall prey to the secret nesting deep within the caverns.
Inspired by true events, HARVEST DEEP is a debut novel of horror by Trent Pettry.
