Abyss - A surreal and terrifying corporate horror about the nightmare of the nine-to-five

Read by the incredible John Lee (Peter F. Hamilton's The Commonwealth Saga and Ken Follett's Century Trilogy and Kingsbridge novels)

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 . . .
