    In the end, A page-turning yet lazy narrative
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2022*

This is my third Nick Cutter book, and after that extended trial, I've decided probably my last. Ill try to share why in the following comments without giving away any spoilers, but if you're the type that likes to enter into a book with zero expectations or foreknowledge, be warned some things may give you an idea of the books narrative and plot.The GOODCutter writes a fine voice, realistic and very relatable, with his characters or at least his main ones. He gives just enough info to help you invest, and the inner dialogue/monologue of his protagonists feel quickly at home in your head. Likeable, generally "good" every-men who are easy to connect with.Another strong point is pacing. Cutter drives the narrative at fairly breakneck speed, with short chapters that often end in cliffhangers that have you hurrying on to the next chapter.As mentioned, very much a page turner! And if that's all your looking for, this might be an enjoyable read.The NOT so good -After three books, I believe I've sussed out Cutter's modus operandi...and its a bit lazy and non-edifying.In the books I read, they followed the same path - set up a great premise and potential story, spend a little time building the world and establishing the characters, then a little less time getting them to a particular place....then basically halt the plot development for the rest of the book and just move from one predictable horror trope scene to another. This goes on forever...then the book ends. Dourly.I mean, there's only so many times you can read about the main character encountering something turning into "gelatinous ooze", and his mind "gibbering in fear". Its like taking a short, interesting trip through the countryside...to a pigsty, and then spending days just wallowing around in the muck. One disgusting pile of muck is about the same as any other, but we are subjected to scene after scene of it.During all this extended muck-wallowing, nothing happens to the plot. Causation, motive, new information, twists or surprises are in very short supply, if any...again, one gelatinous oozing object/character is pretty much the same as the other, if they don't reveal anything about the plot or the characters.In this particular instance, it takes place at the bottom of the ocean, with an ancient malevolent, unknowable entity screwing with everyone and everything. Basically, "Event Horizon", except at the bottom of the ocean instead of the far reaches of space, and not nearly as cohesive.WARNING - The next part might be a bit spoiler-y, though I won't give away any specifics.One of the MO's that have held constant in the three Cutter books I've read is that there is basically no redemption in them, for the characters or the readers. They tend to be likeable protagonists who find themselves in a life or death struggle with unknowable evil - a common trope. But Cutter seems to display a very sadistic side in that there is hardly ever any "wins" for his characters through the book. He grinds them down, defeat after defeat, grinding and grinding until there is nothing left to grind. And then it ends.I love me a good tragedy, and it can be a very effective narrative in the horror genre as well. However the best tragedies are felt more deeply when they are experienced by a hero who has striven heroically and lost. I feel - very subjectively - that Cutter just seems to enjoy torturing his characters till they're used up, like a sadistic child with a magnifying glass at an ant hill.One wants for a LITTLE redemption at some point!And so because of these pros and cons, I give The Deep three stars...and probably say farewell to Mr. Cutter having space on my Kindle.

    Utterly haunting
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023*

Truth: I bought this book because my favorite author has a quote on the cover. Clive Barker is no lightweight in the horror genre but I read his two words like a dare. Now, this novel will live rent free in my mind until I die. Sounds dramatic but its oh so true. Be prepared when you read it, it will stay with you. It touches the deep recesses of your mind. If you are claustrophobic or thalassaphobic, beware. Everything inside these pages is slightly suffocating in all the worst ways. Initially its a nagging concern, something is off, it worries you. It evolves into full blown, pulse pounding pain and fear. I use all these words as heavy handedly as I can. This book will rock you to your core. I could not put it down even knowing it would not end well...and it truly did not end well. All our fear of the unknown is not really unfounded

    Contains some of the worst fatphobia I've ever seen
  

*by H***) on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020*

Note: If fatphobia is triggering for you, just skip this review and the book altogether. It’s really bad.Nick Cutter’s The Deep: A Novel introduces us to Dr. Luke Nelson, a veterinarian. Although he hasn’t seen his brother, genius scientist Clay, in years, he’s snapped up by the government to help out with a project Clay is involved in. Clay is 8 miles down under the surface of the ocean in the Mariana Trench, studying a possible miraculous cure-all agent they call ambrosia. There’s a disease going around called “the ‘Gets”–everyone who catches it starts forgetting more and more, until they finally forget to breathe. The hope is that ambrosia might be the one thing that cures it. Clay and two other scientists are trying to harvest some ambrosia to study. The problem is, the folks up top have lost contact with the little facility they have down there (the Trieste), and one of the last things Clay transmitted was a bizarre-sounding appeal for Luke to “come home.” One of the other scientists came up on his own and was found quite horrifically dead. The folks in charge hope that Luke will be the key to finding out what’s going on, and he’s quickly sent down to the Trieste with Lieutenant Commander Alice “Al” Sykes.I love it when the weird stuff starts happening early on in a horror or paranormal novel. We all know it’s coming; it’s overly coy to keep it out of reach. The Deep dives right in, with the ‘Gets, the ambrosia, and the insanity of sending three scientists 8 miles below the ocean’s surface. When Luke and Al get down there, things have already gone very, very wrong. One of the two remaining scientists seems to have gone insane. True, this can happen when you’re alone, in the dark, in such an inhospitable place, but this is something else. Clay doesn’t seem all that odd, but I mean, this is Clay–he’s always been impassive, cold, and uncaring about anyone except himself. As he says, why would he have sent for Luke? Luke can’t do anything for him. There are very weird things going on in the various labs, but most of the doors are locked and Luke can’t tell what’s going on inside of them.The insane and weird events build nicely, but there was at least one stretch toward the end where I felt like it wasn’t really ramping up fast enough. It got over that, though. There are a lot of memories that Luke spends his time falling into–apparently it’s something about the Trieste, or whatever else might be down here with the ambrosia. Thus we see into Luke’s life quite often. It does become relevant, I promise. He’s had a hard time of things–his son Zach disappeared some years ago. And he and Clayton did not exactly have a normal upbringing.This is where I tackle the thing that pissed me off about this book. Luke and Clayton’s mother. She’s a horrifying monster of a woman, capable of terrible things. She’s also a walking, talking veneer over the face of some serious fatphobia. The details of her fatness are almost lovingly lingered on and very obviously meant to make her seem more disgusting and monstrous. Nearly every time she’s brought up there’s a nod to her fatness whether it’s relevant to anything or not. When she trauma-eats after a very violent event, even that is made to be disgusting. Then there’s a brief mention of a man who killed a bunch of children, and of course he’s labeled “rotund.” In Nick Cutter’s world, fat equals evil. Fat equals disgusting. Fat equals disturbed. People who are fat abuse children, molest children, and kill children.It’s a shame, because this is a really creative book other than that. I love how things work out in some very unexpected ways. However, there’s a seriously major plot point that never gets at all wrapped up–it drops away into nowhere after being worked up into something that seems very unnatural.Content note for a fair amount of animal harm, because Clay has no morals and experiments on animals, even referring to each one as “it.” There’s also off-the-page child death and molestation, and of course a bit of gore.
