Description
Edmonville: an ordinary town full of ordinary citizens, going about their everyday business. Then the earth tremor hits, followed by a second devastating tremor, followed by a great darkness. The next morning, when the dust cloud swirls away, the few survivors discover that most of Edmonville has disappeared into an enormous crevasse. As they struggle to survive surrounded by a bottomless gulf, waiting for the rescue that never comes, one by one people start to disappear without trace.

At the forefront of his field, Stephen Laws shows us horror's most valuable function - the use of great darkness to point up and define, in spectacular fashion, that which is truly humane. - Stephen GallagherNobody sleeps when Stephen Laws writes - Time Out
Stand aside Stephen King, James Herbert and Clive Barker and let through a new heir to the horror throne - Starburst
Local author Stephen Laws' latest paperback displays yet again what a master of horror he is. [...] Definitely not for the squeamish. - Newcastle Evening Chronicle
