Below by Kev Harrison | Book Review

Below by Kev Harrison is a story of sheer determination in the face of the impossible. Every step of the way, this crew faces more and more horrific things, all while underground in an old mine. 

Content Warnings: Cannibalism and Claustrophobia. 

Let’s dive in! 

My Thoughts on Below by Kevin Harrison – 

On a mission to tell his grandfather’s story, a man and two female team members go into an old mine to find more information about what happened to the miners after the mine entrance collapsed. Gathering clues and filming as much as they can, they’re all excited about what the publication of this documentary will bring. But soon after the entrance is dug out and reinforced, the crew starts to get an eerie feeling about the mines… Unfortunately, it only gets more intense from there. 

I was so connected to these characters from the start. I absolutely loved their relationships with one another and how much they looked out for one another. 

With every new area they explored, I equally couldn’t wait to see what they found and was so nervous to see what they would uncover. Knowing loosely what happened there so many years ago, you knew the darkness was coming, but phew… you have no idea how dark it is. 

My Favorites Passages from Below – 

His ears began to ring and then he was falling, his eyes tricking him, as though he was watching someone else fall. He clattered to the ground and the darkness turned shade blacker.

Sofia emerged from the shadow with Jess close behind, their features being filled in, as though by a sketch artist, the closer they came to the flare.

My Final Thoughts on Below – 

Readers will be completely captivated by this story. I was absolutely obsessed with seeing what was to happen next. By the time I reached the end, I was genuinely sad! But oh, how I wish I could see the footage from their adventure!
