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!
