    As a former NYC daily subway commuter who often looked down into the dark tunnels, I have always loved this story! Great reading, Edward! Thanks

      That's a strange kind of love. I worked on a films called "C.H.U.D." and "Breeders" shot in some of the abandoned NYC subway stretches. Very spooky places! E.E.F.

    I loved the narrator’s change in tone when he asks “what are you staring at?” You can hear his dread as he realizes his guest has noticed how inhuman he has become. Brilliant.

    I heard that a painter up in Boston in the 1920s made a number of ghoulish paintings with a fair likeness of these things. Alas his name escapes me… Rick ?Rich? Somebody help me out here…..😂

      Yes. Mr. Barker may have been inspired by this. Incidentally, I worked as a Makeup FX Artist on the film Midnight Meat Train and C.H.U.D. also reminiscent of "Far Below." And of course H.G. Wells covered this (under) ground with "The Time Machine." Cheers. E.E.F.

      @@FrenchEdward06 The work of your makeup FX team on Midnight Meat Train succeeded in its putrid ghastliness, let me tell you. Drippy, sloppy, raw and wet. With such a title, of course, I should have known better, yet I was transfixed between my outspread fingers right through to the unspeakable :) end.

    Hi, Edward French! I see you have chosen one of my favorite ultra weird stories. I know you are going to body slam it. You do creepy soooooo well. It would be stinkin' awesome if you and Jasper L'Estrange could collaborate on something just as unnerving as Far Below. This one has made wonder "what if..." since I first read it. Thank you very, very much 😊 😨😰😱🙃🙂
