I can't wait to continue with the next book in the series. The only problem I had with it Kindle Version was the lack of paragraph breaks. I soon got used to it, though, and didn't mind it. I'm getting ready to dive into the Prequel, "Taylok", then I'm on to books 2 and 3. I highly recommend this book!! Please write more Mr.

Honestly, not much more to say about Cavern of the Damned. A perfect read for a long car or plane ride. Or just for lounging around being lazy, honestly.
Jun 22, Hunter Shea rated it it was amazing. Cavern of the Damned is a wild ride through time that never lets up. If you grew up like me loving movies like Journey to the Center of the Earth, this book will make you feel like a kid again. James has written an excellent, in-depth cast of characters you can cheer on, as well as some world class bad guys you hope get stomped by the giant creatures in the cave.
An excellent beach read for the summer! View all 3 comments.
Jun 18, Glenn Rolfe rated it it was amazing. James at the top of his game! From start to finish, Cavern of the Damned is a thrilling, well-written, kick ass piece of dark fiction. James crafts real characters to life and places them next to impossible pre-historic creatures.

One of the most fun stories I've read this year and a top 5 contender for best horror novel of Aug 31, Bill rated it it was ok Shelves: Everybody seemed to dig this one. I completely lost interest a little over half way in but trudged on. It read very elementary. Kind of like starter horror for kids with a wee more blood. Not sure it was intended that way. Folks, this cave was blocked to good purpose.
Cavern of the Damned
Unfortunately, greed is near unstoppable, and the combination of a Hollywood producer and a caver banned from Yellowstone for illegalities will get it open to exploration, with disas Review: Unfortunately, greed is near unstoppable, and the combination of a Hollywood producer and a caver banned from Yellowstone for illegalities will get it open to exploration, with disastrous results.
Sometimes it's best not to breach a barrier. Author Russell James delivers heart-in-mouth unstoppable action and terror. If you love creature horror, paleontology, megafauna, and scares-a-minute, love this! Jul 17, Marvin rated it it was amazing Shelves: When I am reading certain books, usually of the horror adventure variety, I sometimes engage on a little fantasy game.
I pretend I am a B movie producer considering this particular property to make as a film. I envision myself as a Roger Corman. A Samuel Z Arkoff. A William Castle with 21st century gimmicks.
See a Problem?
It has to be one that sends my imagination wheeling, that is a little cheesy but not too much so, and has lots of creative B movie type thrills and spills. Cavern of the Damned by Russell James is one of those books. It has a lot of things I love. A hot capable heroine and a somewhat ordinary nerd hero in peril but the girl already has a guy. We can work on that in the screenplay.
Basically it takes me back to the pulps that I loved as a kid and, of course, to those B-movies. He is lured into a film project with a shady documentary maker that will take him to caves in Montana with pictographs of giant bats at the entrance. Park ranger McKinley Stinson follows the explosions caused when the film maker attempts to open the passageway into the cave and is about to arrest everyone when the entrance collapses and traps them inside.
They must find a way out and that takes them deeper into uncharted underground territory filled with deadly monsters and complicated by doubling dealing bad guys. There are scares of both the creature and man-made variety and bets will be taken on who will survive. The thrills are plenty and the science is slight but not stretched to the point of silliness, well, some silliness. The monsters do really exist in caves but is a smaller pint-sized capacity. And the idea of North American Neanderthals? James will forgive me if I say this is not literature with a capital L.
This is pulp but really good pulp.
It is the kind that induces thrills, stretches the imagination and makes you root for the good guys. It is the type of adventure pulp that makes me glad there are hints of a sequel. It is the kind of adventure that makes movies in your mind. Cavern of the Damne d is one fun read. Dec 05, Kaisersoze rated it really liked it Shelves: Good, fun, light-hearted read with decent characters. It's a little padded out with the boyfriend side story, but otherwise the main storyline following the group trapped in the cave - complete with an against type lead - is engaging, exciting and hard to fault.
Aug 05, Curtis rated it it was amazing. Russell James has crafted a great horror adventure! The book opens up with a bang and doesn't let up until the excellent conclusion. Grant Coleman, a broke and desperate paleontologist, gets the chance of a lifetime exploring an ancient cave system In the Yellow Stone National Park that has never been explored before. He jumps at the chance. Afterall, he needs the money for his research.

Jun 16, David rated it liked it Shelves: After reading Monsters in the Clouds it was fun to back up and read this book and see where it all started. Jun 20, Nikki rated it it was amazing Shelves: Well, I had no sooner finished saying that small creatures scare me more than large ones and then Russell James had to go and show me that enormous creatures and monsters can be just as scary too!
It's been a long time since I've read a story that had such interesting characters and creatures. I'm hoping the hint at another adventure means there's another book in the works because James does great capturing things in such a way that it's both believable and horrifying. Jul 07, DaftScholar rated it it was amazing. Totally convertible into a movie. Grant Coleman is broke financially so is willing to take a job he might normally refuse. He gets the chance to explore a long sealed cave.
Unfortunately, he is sealed in with a group of people including a tough female Ranger and a prima donna and not very smart actress on a tv show. The book reads like a spoof of horror novels in a way with over sized monsters and outrageous characters. I really did enjoy reading the book for the sense of fun and mayhem.
It came across like a spoof of some of Grant Coleman is broke financially so is willing to take a job he might normally refuse. It came across like a spoof of some of the pulp novels of the 40's and 50's. Nov 06, Jim Cunningham rated it really liked it. No profoundity in this one, but it is a good time. If it had that, it might have gotten five stars!

May 28, Stuart West rated it it was amazing. Russell James' Cavern of the Damned is one fun, fast, hella drive-in read if that makes any sense. It's a throwback to Mr. Gordon films crossed with a modern-day taste for true suspense, gore, and psychology. This sucker zips, never a dull moment, as it details a doomed damned? The suspense is well-wrought, the scares honestly earned.
