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! **About the Author In addition to his published stories, Ryan Notch is also the producer of the films Night Things and The Pill.  His photographic techniques experimenting with light graffiti have been featured in the Fu Collective Gallery in Denver.  He currently resides in Centralia, Pennsylvania, a town evacuated by the Federal government due to a coal mine fire burning beneath it since 1962. The only town in America ever to have its zip code revoked. During the day he wanders the empty streets and houses as if in a dream, looking for something he lost but can't remember where or what it was. At night he writes his horror stories by lying down next to a burning fissure along main street and placing his ear to the ground, transcribing what he hears coming up from below.
