Praise for The Abyss Above Us,
"There is almost never a moment in which the reader is not compelled to ask himself, 'Yes, but what happens next?'"
-Albert Berg's Unsanity Files
"Effective hybrid of science & cosmic horror."
-Cameron, Good Reads
In this Kindle Horror Exclusive:
There is a place in the sky where there are no stars, no matter how deeply the astronomers gaze into it. Atop a lonely mountain stands a mighty telescope that turns towards the coordinates of this abyss nightly, as if drawn to it. Receiving its commands from a computer that hasn't existed for twenty years.
Introverted network engineer Shaw is brought in to find out why.
To his horror he finds that while the night sky may be dark, it is not silent. A signal is coming from those coordinates. Creating a sound liquid and hypnotic with layers of data that suggest anything but randomness. A siren's song that leads to horrific suicides in everyone who listens to it.
By the time Shaw realizes this, it's too late to stop the signal he sent back into the night. A signal obviously received, for the abyss has begun to move.
And it's moving towards us.
More praise for The Abyss Above Us:
"...his ideas are novel, he avoids cliche at every turn, and his technical expertise shows through in his writing. "
-James West, Amazon Reader
For everyone who misses the early days of Stephen King and John Carpenter, The Abyss Above Us is your ticket back into great sci-fi horror!

The members of Mystic Caravan have Georgia on their minds as they land in Savannah … and immediately find trouble.
In a city full of ghosts, Poet Parker expects a few magical things to happen, but when an evil cult sacrifices a young woman on the beach next to their camp, things take a turn nobody was expecting. Thankfully, she’s not alone for this fight.
Zoe Lake-Winters is considered the most powerful mage in existence. She’s brash, full of herself, and ready for a brawl. When she and her husband bring their daughter to the circus, Poet is immediately intrigued. She can feel the power rippling off Zoe, and it’s the sort of power that can force a reckoning.
The cult has magic, but it’s not enough to frighten Poet. It’s what they’re protecting that has everybody in a tizzy. It seems there’s a door to another plane, and the enemy trying to cross over to a world they were driven from is significant.

Magic is might, and there’s magic bubbling at every corner of Mystic Caravan. That’s a good thing because for the final fight they’re going to need every ounce of it they can muster.
Worlds are about to collide, and nobody will ever be the same again. Views: 458
