Abyss

This job will eat you alive. From the bestselling author of Ascension, Nicholas Binge, Abyss is a creeping, Lovecraftian horror about work, technology and existential dread. Joe Rice is lost – lonely, disconnected and terminally online. His new job as an administrative assistant at the Ponos corporation seems like just another unfulfilling stop-gap. But from his first day, something is deeply wrong. The vast Canary Wharf office is empty, his line manager is a bundle of paranoid energy, and his work is monitored by WellBot, an AI wellness chatbot that demands total honesty while tracking his every move. As Joe’s tasks descend into a surreal nightmare, he’ll eventually learn that handing in his notice could have deadly consequences . . . ‘The horror book for our modern age’ – Grimdark Magazine ‘A compelling and haunting read’ – SFX * * * Praise for Nicholas Binge ‘Old-school creepy . . . five-star horror’ – Stephen King ‘Extremity is a fantastic, twisty, exhilarating novella . . . easily in the running for best novella of the year’ – The Fantasy Hive ‘Binge is an author to watch’ – TJ Klune
