The Descent: The Official Novelization cover

A tense and claustrophobic nightmare, this cult-classic is widely considered one of the best horror films of the 21st century. Written and directed by Neil Marshall, the director of Dog Soldiers and Hellboy, as well as episodes of Game of Thrones, Westworld and Hannibal.

Scream your last breath.

After a tragic accident, six friends reunite for a caving expedition. Their adventure soon goes horribly wrong when a collapse traps them deep underground and they find themselves pursued by bloodthirsty creatures. As their friendships deteriorate, they find themselves in a desperate struggle to survive the creatures and each other.

“Francis does a great job of recreating some of the iconic images from the film, the key deaths, the screeching horrors ... If you are a horror fan looking for a quick and nasty read, it has good characterisation and some old school nasty horror to it.” —SF Book

“For those who loved The Descent film but want to know a bit more about the emotions of the characters and a tiny bit of backstory on the cave system, the novelization is a fun read for the Halloween season.” —Fangirl Nation

“Christian Francis' tale of subterranean terror brings something new even for diehard fans of Neil Marshall's classic.” —Fangoria
