Thank you to NetGalley for the audiobook of The Ballad of Old Joe Booth by William Pauley III. 

The Ballad of Old Joe Booth is the fifth installment of William Pauley III's Bedlam Bible. Despite this, however, The Ballad of Old Joe Booth could be read as a standalone easily. 

This was a haunting piece that I listened to whilst taking a bath. A stupid decision, as the author did an incredible job of capturing the fear and unknown of the depths. I was enthralled rather quickly by Old Joe Booth, and found the tale both harrowing and thrilling. 

The narrator, Connor Brannigan has a deep purr that made the story all the more mysterious. An excellent narration of a brilliant tale.
