It’s all the bests of the Sworn Soldier series — looming dread, compelling narration, and a touch of wry humor — now paired with the Appalachian Gothic. What Stalks the Deep follows Alex Easton deep into a West Virginian coal mine of twisting tunnels, disappearances, and eldritch creatures lurking in the depths.
