I stumbled across this writer on youtube. Somebody had done an illustration to one of his stories. It was such a fantastic story I had to get more from this author. At the end of the video they told me where to buy this book and here I came! I've only read the first story in this book. The depths. It's fantastic. I haven't read a book in years that has made me so excited to turn the page. I was nearly trembling to get to the next page and my anxiety was freaking out to see what would happen next. I love this author. I hope to get more books from him. Now I'm going to get back to the second story. If you're thinking about buying this book I highly suggest it.

First came across one of his stories narrated on YouTube and from there delved deeper into his work. So much potential. I like how some of the stories hint at an interconnected universe. It has libertarian undertones while being unique and still having that creepy pasta kind of feel. Highly recommend.

First time reading this author and really enjoyed the stories. Especially the angel one. In part horror and bizarre I think it has something for everyone.

I'm drowning in Richard Saxon's rich, sexy prose. "From the Depths," is to aquatic horror fiction what the kama sutra was to lovemaking: it simply elevates the art. If you like Lovecraft, Wicked Tuna, Jaws, or Finding Nemo, then you'll love "From the Depths."When you dive into the dark, don't feel surprised when you find things better left unknown.

This collection is well written and chilling. Many of the stories left me pondering my very existence, leaving me wanting more!

One of my favorite authors for creepy, unsettling horror short stories! I was so excited to see this collection, and am really loving it . If you’re a fan of bite-sized chillers, you can’t go wrong with this collection!

If you haven't experienced one of Richard Saxon's horror stories you're in for something really special. I have been reading his stories on Reddit for about a year now and this collection is a great representation of his work.From the very first story you'll be on the edge of your seat and the tension does not let up from there.This is truly one that will keep you up at night - in the best way possible. I can't recommend it enough.

NO SPOILERSAs an avid reader of classic horror fiction, I was sceptical at first whether modern horror stories would appeal to me. The ocean theme, that the title suggests, drew my attention to this marvelleous book. "Dagon" by H.P. Lovecraft is one of my favourite horror stories, so my expectations were high.To cut it short - I enjoyed these stories a lot. They are enthralling and well plotted.Expert knowledge about the ocean and its inhabitants is scatterd throughout the whole book.There are other great aspects I can not mention here without spoilering, unfortunately.I'm looking forward to your next release!

Among the best short fiction I've had the pleasure of reading, Richard Saxon's collection of dark tales is difficult to put down. Each dark tale pulls you into its orbit and keeps you there as it peels back the curtain on a world full of shocking twists and haunting conclusions. It's an anthology not to be missed!

Sehr spannend geschrieben, relativ große Schriftzeichen. Ist einfach zu lesen, auch wenn Englisch nicht die Muttern ist. Empfehlenswert für Spannungs- und Horrorfans.

I enjoy reading chapter by chapter at the evening. Quite scary story ideas, so you really have to go on reading. Please write more!

Great book, you can just dive in and are in a whole different and scary world.Hope there will be more coming soon.
