The Abyss

Don't make the same mistake that I did and read this book at night. I have read many, many horror novels and this may be the scariest one ever. Years later, I still get chills when I think about some of the scenes in this book!

The epitome of fear, literally claws at your back!

Few books are as haunting as this one. A chilling foray into the what if genre that never lets go. The slight shallowness of the characters leads the reader to care greatly for them and to feel their pain, their sadness, their terror. If you wish to read one of the darkest portrayals of Armageddon (and perhaps the quickest) I suggest seeking this book out. Hopefully it's out of print status will change.
