Review
Praise for Jeremy Bates and his books:
"Jeremy Bates has written a great book that would make a great Hollywood screenplay!"--�Suspense Magazine�on�The Taste of Fear
"Bates takes an intriguing premise to shocking lengths, revealing the outcome only in an epilogue. A graphically violent story with building suspense and a moral about where weaving such a web may lead."--�Booklist�on�White Lies
"The Catacombs is easy to consume whole, like a shocking, but delicious, pint of ice cream, as Bates never shies away from the bad or the ugly. If you are looking for something to give you chills before you go to bed or make you think twice about turning off your light, then The Catacombs is the book for you."--�San Francisco Book Review�on�The Catacombs
"[A]�short, sharp shocker...Bates (The Taste of Fear) writes persuasively from [the protagonist's] adolescent point of view, making the horror of his youthful reminiscences that much more intense."--�Publishers Weekly�on�Black Canyon
"The story culminates in a tense situation and a surprising yet satisfying ending...well written and an exciting thriller."--�Suspense Magazine�on�White Lies
"The Catacombs is a thrilling descent into the unknown, peeling back the dark layers like a rotting onion, tears running down your face as you try to climb your way out. A hypnotic story of buried truths, disfigured creatures, and lost histories told with an authoritative voice full of heart and insight."--�Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker nominated author�on�The Catacombs
"Big on suspense...think of The Blair Witch Project with the exception being that this takes place in...a real haunted setting."--�HorrorAddicts�on�Suicide Forest
"Here's an enjoyable book to lose yourself in. Jeremy Bates doesn't miss a trick, teasing and misleading, ratcheting up the tension as the heroine...loses traction on a slippery slope of deceptions."--�Glenn Kleier, New York Times bestselling author�on�White Lies
"Bates' approach to the story is surprisingly restrained, cultivating impressive frights in the unnerving environment...an understated horror story that will remind readers what chattering teeth sound like."--�Kirkus Reviews�on�Suicide Forest

An Incredible Story
By Ann Carbine Best
Billed as a psychological thriller this novel caught my eye. It's also billed as horror, my least favorite genre. But it depends on how you define horror. Horror just for the sake of horror I shy from. But once I began reading this book, I didn't want to put it down, partly because the writing itself is so good...and because as I kept reading I became more and more involved with the characters, largely because the author is superbly skilled with dialogue, characterization, action, plot, pacing, description....this amazingly imaginative author does it all.
Every individual on the planet is on a journey. So are the characters in The Catacombs, in their case a horrifying one. But within the darkest of places we can see ourselves in ways that we couldn't if we were always in the light. This inner exploration must, of necessity, involve opposition: good vs. evil, darkness vs. light. The darkness in this novel is as deep as the inner recesses of natural man's soul, the setting--the catacombs--being a character in itself to help the reader feel not just absolute physical darkness but also the darkness that lurks in the hearts of men.
It is at 65% (kindle edition) where one of the towering characters, Zolan, voices this theme: "
"We are all savages at heart, Daniele. We are inherently a violent species. We commit wars, genocide, murder. That is why every society is built upon the foundation of law and punishment. We cannot trust ourselves. We need to be kept in line."
There are very few such explicit didactic truths in the book. Rather, most truths/nuggets of wisdom surface through the actions and interactions of the characters who survive two days in a subterranean house of horrors--a vast burial ground--beneath the city of Paris. Two days of confrontations with men and women who have been both emotionally and physically disfigured; characters who exemplify man's inhumanity to man.
But there is good even in the darkest of hearts, as in Zolan's, a flawed man who loves his daughter. But sometimes the darkness is too deep, too complex, and some can't escape it. Others want to, and struggle toward the light, as does the protagonist, the mostly-first-person-narrator Will, and the thirteen-year-old physically disfigured Katja. I will see Katja in mind's eye for a very long time. For me, she is the most compelling character in the story. Which brings me to the skill with which the author handles multiple viewpoints, allowing the reader to see inside some of the characters' minds.
I can't say enough in praise of this superbly written novel that had me thinking: How many people, metaphorically speaking, live underground, disfigured emotionally or physically or both? Come to the catacombs and follow their journey through a place that's a mirror image of the "real" violent world in which we live, a violent world above ground that the main characters long for in their darkest hours.

A scary journey to the horror underworld
By Robert Krueger
In the Prologue, the reader is exposed to a picture of acute fear: someone running to escape horror and death. The novel then reverts to almost two days earlier. The story begins to unfold, drawing the reader willingly toward the Catacombs. From the Prologue, the reader wonders what monstrosities inhabit the underearth. Parts of the novel are edge of your seat action and suspense, but the story is more than that. There are insights into human nature. We see it in the contrasting personalities of the explorers and in the contrast between evil that becomes pervasive and accepted as normal in the Catacombs and the un-evil and at times good within the explorers. The characters are colorful, engaging, and believable with contrasting personalities that adds interest. The writing is polished -- descriptive narrative that pulls the reader along. Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, About Good and Evil.

GRIPPING, & SUSPENSEFUL
By Kathleen D Davis
I was so drawn into this story, that many times I had episodes of claustrophobia, and would have to put the book down and walk away and tell myself it is just a book...that I really wasn't stuck miles beneath the city, and in those small catacombs where a person could easily get stuck and or lost, and never to be heard of again. Kept me on the edge right up to the end. This was the first book I had read by Jeremy Bates, but it won't be the last! I highly recommend this book and Author to anyone looking for a suspenseful, gripping, take you to the edge kind of story. Here it is!
