With makeup and an affected Elvis pout, Tucson’s Charlie Schmid was a crude parody of a bad-boy heartthrob. In 1964, he still had a hold on girls who’d follow him anywhere. He murdered three of them. It was the dawn of the free-love movement - perfect for a magnetic madman who’d also foreshadow its end a few years later in the malignant charisma of Charles Manson. The inspiration for a classic story by Joyce Carol Oates, Schmid, the most bizarre serial killer of any era, was the epitome of a narcissist flattered into believing he could get away with murder.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Down by the old Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge, four high school friends only wanted to kick back for a day or two. Decades earlier, an old goat farmer had been murdered by the Klan, hung from a tree near the bridge solely because of the color of his skin. His body was never found. Since then, numerous sightings of a strange creature - half-man and half-goat - had been reported in the surrounding woods. He was called the Goatman. From the moment they arrived, strange noises echoed around them.... A sense they were being watched pervaded the campsite...and that was just the beginning.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 11
Antoine DeWitt is a man down on his luck. Broke and recently fired, he knows the winning Money Carlo ticket that has landed in his mailbox from a car dealership is nothing more than a scam. The promise of $5,000, though, is too tantalizing to ignore. Jon Dangle is a keeper of secrets, many of which are buried deep beneath his dealership. He works hard to keep them hidden, but occasionally sacrifices are required, sacrifices who are penniless, desperate, and who will not be missed. Sacrifices exactly like DeWitt.

Longtime residents of Harper's Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow's Point Lighthouse. Some say it's cursed. Others claim it's haunted. Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse's construction including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror.

Another fine tale from Mr. West!
What did you love best about The Him Deep Down?
It was written by Terry M. West and as always Terry writes a fine tale of horror.
What did you like best about this story?
Entertaining from beginning to end.
Have you listened to any of Julie Hoverson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I did at times find her voice to be kind of nerve wracking. I believe a male narrator would have been better. But that's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I listened to the whole thing from beginning to end.
Any additional comments?
The voice actor was very talented despite the times I found her to be a bit nervy.

Well worth the small investment of time
What made the experience of listening to The Him Deep Down the most enjoyable?
It was a well-done story that, while not exceedingly long, manages to pack in a fair bit of storytelling. The narrator's performance took me a few minutes to get into, but once I did I completely enjoyed her work.
What other book might you compare The Him Deep Down to and why?
Hard to say. I don't read a lot of books like this.
Have you listened to any of Julie Hoverson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I had not heard this narrator before. Her performance was enjoyable and immersive. She did extremely well with the material.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and probably could.
Any additional comments?
The author is a friend of mine and honestly that's why I read the book. Having said that, he does a wonderful job telling "another zombie story" that really isn't. The closest comparison I can make is the Walking Dead comic. The zombies are a prop for telling a story about people. Well worth your time and money.

Ugly, Stark, and Almost Perfect
Short and brutal, befitting a realistic zombie tale.
Downside: It's short. Upside: It's delightfully dark. I wish it could've gone longer, but I also can't see that adding much to the story. It's how a story should be told: long enough to tell the story you need, but not so long as to dilute its intensity. Well done, Lutzke and West.
