Twenty six stories from the twisted mind of Paul Steward takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of hell-filled passages. Paul explores the darkside of caving: from alien encounters under Roswell, to murder and fear in dark, twisting underground passages. Guaranteed to give even the seasoned of cavers the chills. Paul has a story about anything you can possibly imagine that can happen in a cave.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Reading Paul Steward's stories leads one to wonder two things: first, whether he can find anyone to cave with him, and second, what happened to those who did. I know I'd be afraid to cave with him. This collection of his stories reaffirms that fear. Steward has crafted a book with its own body count! A fun read for those dreadful days when a caver is trapped above ground." -- Bob Springston, NSS News columnist

Paul Steward is one sick genius.,
By Michael Ray Taylor (Arkadelphia, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Dirt, Danger, and Darkness (Mass Market Paperback)
If Stephen King slipped on some mud-slick coveralls and slithered into a deep crack and stayed down there way too long, he'd emerge with this book. Steward's caving tales are by turns eery, morose, and screamingly funny. I can't wait for the next collection.

YIKES!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of Dirt, Danger, and Darkness (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Steward's book should come with a sticker like a sign I once saw at a cave entrance. "WARNING, ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"I once enjoyed going into caves. Now I think I'll just be content with the IDEA of going into caves. Seriously, Paul Steward's stories are intriguing and scary. In fact, the next time I'm with friends at a late-night campfire I'm going to pull out Paul's book and read the one about the two guys who make the mistake of trying to convince a landowner to let them explore a cave on his property... If you think you like caves, you need to read this book. There are some things you should know...

The Darker Side,
By Mary M. Nyman "Mary Nyman, author and retired... (Wareham, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tales of Dirt, Danger, and Darkness (Mass Market Paperback)
Outrageous, bizarre and funny, Paul Steward's book, TALES OF DIRT, DANGER AND DARKNESS, transports the reader into realms of terror not often visited. The horrors of the cave world, presented as entrapment and death, remind the reader that, in darkness, the mind is precariously perched between fantasy and reality and between good and evil. The terror of being accountable to the devil is there because of human greed and the desire for fame and power. And Steward often approaches the episodes in this book with subtle humor. We all have our spiritual dark sides, so clearly presented in this book. An electrifying collection of original short stories, and an excellent read!
