    About this ebook

    In this terrifying tale of sci-fi horror...

    Captain Gibson's ship is falling.

    Plunging from space at ten times the speed of sound into an alien ocean of darkness.

    A place where no light has shown since the days of creation, a place beyond any hope of rescue.

    A place with almost no chance of any other life existing. Where he will almost certainly be alone in the dark.

    Almost.

    Praise for Ryan Notch:

    "I've come to believe that mystery is the greatest driving force of
    fiction...and it's clear that Ryan Notch gets it."
    -Albert Berg's Unsanity Files

    "I don't usually pick up a horror book unless it has Stephen King on front
    page but this author could give Stephen King a run for his money!"
    -Bridget H, Goodreads

    Author

    Ryan Notch

    Ryan Notch lives 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. To view his photographs featuring the dreams of abandoned places please visit www.areographers.com Or watch a trailer for his feature length horror movie at www.lastnightofapril.com Or read his comics at www.themsgoodcomics.com

    Thank you for purchasing this story. I hope you enjoy it. Well actually I hope it scares the hell out of you. If you do enjoy it, please consider posting a review at the site you downloaded it from. It's the best way to ensure you keep getting access to indie books, instead of just what big house publishers think you should be reading. And for those of you who don't think you have anything interesting to contribute to a review, you'd be surprised at how much stock a stranger puts in your opinion.
