THE DESCENT

Jeff Long has created a horrifying, evil world, replete with Satan and mutated human-like creatures who battle against the humans who travel into this realm, accidentally or purposely. Boyd Gaines's deep tones and sonorous narration take the listener into this sunless world as Ike Crockett, unwilling servant of Satan, and Ali von Schade, a nun, seek the origins of this civilization. Bone chilling to the end, Boyd's story increases intensity layer by layer in its flawless capture of the darkness and what lies within. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 00]
