Yesterday my sponsored ads on Facebook included The Boys: Deeper and Deeper, an in-universe audiobook about the Deep. It's relatively short (only 70 minutes long). It was written by Matt Berns and narrated by Chace Crawford (the Deep), Leigh Bush (Vought podcaster Haley), and Katy Breier (the Deep's wife, Cassandra).
From his exile from The Seven to his escape from an
insidious cult, The Deep tells all in this companion to the hit Prime Video
series The Boys
He may be Lord of the Seven Seas, but for The Deep, life has been a tsunami of
humiliations and setbacks. After braving the childhood trauma of being the
weird kid with gills, Deep rose to the very top, basking in worldwide fame with
Earth’s most powerful superheroes. But his public glory masked the disrespect
of his teammates who crushed him, day after day. When he found himself
patrolling the streets of Sandusky, Ohio, and then swallowed up into the Church
of the Collective, Deep realized he had plummeted even deeper than the Mariana
Trench.
Now, Deep—on the road promoting his memoir, Deeper—is sitting down for a
no-holds-barred podcast interview. With his wife, Cassandra, by his side, Deep
dives to the very depths of his soul and lays bare everything that has made him
the fish-guy he is today.
--------------------------
The audiobook isn't actually the in-universe memoir, but rather a podcast interview about it set before Season 3. Like everything else created for The Boys, it includes in-universe advertising. It's definitely an entertaining thing to listen to, but also like the Deep, super cringey. To quote my friend Mark at Cross Planes put it on Facebook, "The Deep is so loathsome and yet oddly compelling and
completely sad."
You can grab it here, or you can try Audible Premium for free, use one of your credits to get it like I definitely didn't do, then cancel your membership.
