Digging deep (One of my favorite short stories)

The story Digging deep is one of my favorite stories by Ramsey Campbell.In the story “Digging deep by Ramsey Campbell, Alan Coe is a man who was thought confirmed dead and instead wound up buried alive. After reading the story Alan Coe seems to have been a very depressed and unhappy man. He does not appear to be satisfied with anything or anyone. It is as if his family may have buried him alive because he was too much of a negative person. He never liked the light; he was always surrounded by darkness, since he seemed to push away everyone that loved him. It’s almost as if his family was doing him a favor by burying him alive because he was such a depressing person to look at and want alive. After all his attempts of reaching someone to rescue him, he finally feels someone digging for him. It was not anyone from above ground that he called to come and rescue him. It was the devil coming to take him to the place he needed to be with the other miserable lifeless people who have lived.
