In 2017, a town in rural Kentucky was found buried in a landslide. All of the corpses had pounds of soil in their stomachs—as if they tried to eat their way out of the ground. The police investigation uncovered a diary among the bodies that suggests the town’s destruction was an orchestrated massacre. Unfortunately, every person who reads the diary goes insane.

Now the transcript of the diary is made available in book form so you can assist with the investigation. Specifically, law enforcement requests your help tracking down the author of the diary—the primary murder suspect who has evaded capture.

Down the Well is the transcript of the diary, along with lawyer Joseph Blackhurst’s notes from his trip to Kentucky to interview witnesses. Of course, neither Joseph or fellow attorney Sahar Ayubbi were prepared for the possibility of a supernatural explanation.

I was hoping for more from this one. It's a great premise, alternating the story between documentation of some weird events and later investigation of that material, and it works very well for quite a while. But unfortunately the story devolves into a mess in the last third or so, really dragging itself down from its potential. And the narration is very mixed too - it's fine in the moment but doesn't differentiate itself enough between those time periods, making it too easy to lose track of which part of the story you're listening to. I enjoyed it on the whole, but unfortunately it doesn't ultimately live up to the potential it gave off early on.

Fascinating premise that peters out by the end
