The Descent

Humanity's most terrifying secret is unearthed in Jeff Long's "The Descent," a chilling narrative that challenges the very foundations of our existence. Across the globe, disparate discoveries—a self-mutilated body warning of Satan in the Himalayas, evidence of an ancient proto-human species and a deity named Older-than-Old in the Kalahari, and creatures feeding on the dead in Bosnian mass graves—converge to reveal a horrifying truth: Earth's underworld is a vast, geological labyrinth teeming with another race of beings. This revelation ignites a global race to colonize and exploit the subterranean frontier, with nations, armies, religions, and industries scrambling for Hell's precious resources and territories. A major scientific expedition delves beneath the Pacific Ocean floor, tasked with cataloging its riches and understanding life in the sunless abyss. However, miles inside the earth, as human civilization fades, the scientists and mercenaries become prey not only to the brutal indigenous creatures but also to their own inherent treachery, mutiny, and greed. "The Descent" plunges readers into a nightmarish world where evil is not just a concept, but a tangible, terrifying reality.
