About this listen
In the Highlands of Scotland lies the Hole, a famed passageway under the town of Bethel where hundreds have vanished. After years of ignored recovery wishes, the Hole’s ownership has passed to Elisabeth Wingate.
A former child star and British fashion mogul, Elisabeth wants to redeem her scandalous, reckless life. She agrees to finance an expedition to retrieve the legion of bodies that have accumulated over the years, but there’s only one catch: She wants to venture alongside the caving team.
But they’re not alone down there....
Everything goes wrong in the darkness. Elisabeth is split from her group, navigating a labyrinth of caves and inexplicable rooms of carved stone. With limited supplies and a failing light, she must reunite with her group. And somehow escape the creatures in the dark before they claim another victim Under Bethel....
Mullins returns to dreadful horror in this tense, creepy, and atmospheric tale of the shadowy things that linger in the deepest chasms of the world....

Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places. But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

an absolute masterpiece in the horror genre!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I finished Under Bethel by Hubert L. Mullins today and WOW! This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This is the 3rd book of his I've listened to and all 3 of them have been OUTSTANDING!
This book touches on several subjects. If you are scared of dark places, caves, spiders, (and Greek gods??) this book is for you!
I really enjoyed the story but the narration was first class. The narrator was easily understood even when she was hitting those heavy Scottish accents.
I literally can't praise this author or his work enough. This is very mild horror. Just enough to give you some slight unease and cringiness but don't be afraid to tackle this one even if you don't think you are a fan of horror. It has superb story telling and a pace fast enough to keep you wanting more the entire way through.
A very easy 5 stars.

Cool mythology
Had this been an actual book that I read, I probably would have waited this higher. I think my issue was with the narrator, who wasn’t bad, but her voices were a bit annoying.
I’ve been to Scotland and Ireland, so I understand that there can be some heavy brogue going on, but hers took away from the story. There were times when I had to rewind a bit but it wasn’t terrible
The story was very slow to kick off, but once everyone got into the cave, that’s where everything went really good, and at a fast pace. What also helped me to hang on the Small stories from the past linked to the cave that tied everything together. All in all it was a pretty good story.

Don't Judge a Book by It's ... Narration?
I should have read the book first. The narrator's feeble attempts at different accents and colloquialism detract from the storyline. Horribly, but that's not the 'horror' the author is attempting to achieve and is why I did not rate the story. I'll reserve judgment on the story until I actually read the book.

Creepy & exciting!
This is a good and creepy story! Giant spiders will freak me out all day long! This book has a lot of thrills, excitement and suspense. Less of a horror vibe though. The story is well written and I definitely wanted to find out how it was going to end!

drags on a bit.
a neat idea dulled by too many characters and too many pages.
the setup got my hopes up, good atmosphere, some local lore and I think caves are way underutilized in horror.
but it gets old real fast. the author has no idea how caving works so a lot of finer plot points were illogical. the story goes on for so long any tension that it managed to create slowly dissipates and made the end a chore to finish. most of all though the prose is just.. meh. had I read the physical book I do not think I would have finished it but on a long drive it did the trick. 2.5 stars.

A must read!!
Under Bethel was so well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat, with such vivid descriptions. I could see every character and the architecture of the cave. This checks all the boxes a complete thriller. I absolutely loved the mention of my hometown so unexpectedly. Lots of twists and turns, thank you so much for a great book. Love the cover image and narrator also did phenomenally with all the characters and accents.

Suspenseful and atmospheric
This was such an enjoyable audiobook. It's a super cool concept that is perfect for horror lovers and lovers of mythology.
I hate spiders and caves kind of freak me out, too. If you're like me, this book just might be the perfect nightmare fuel for you! Content aside, I really enjoyed listening to this book. And I am eager to read the second book.
