Summary

The Face in the Abyss is a classic from a "golden age" of science fiction. A brilliant tale filled with weird imagination, marvelous writing, horror, beauty, and it may well be called the most "visual" book ever written for the world of fantasy. The Face in the Abyss is a grand book with a grand cast of characters. Visualize a monstrous head that cries tears of gold, locked deep in a cavern out of time forgotten. Consider also the incredible, Snake Mother, who is both human and reptilian, and her battle with the thing called the Lord of Evil.
Available since: 12/20/2017.

    Suicide or the perfect cover-up? 
Kenzi Brannon loves the single life in California. She hasn't looked back since the day she walked away from her painful past. 
Everything comes crashing down when Kenzi gets a call about her estranged sister's suicide. If that news isn't shocking enough, she also learns that she is now guardian to Ember, a niece she doesn't even know. 
Kenzi heads up north and finds herself in her family's long-abandoned house. Neighbors whisper rumors of hauntings, but Kenzi has a more serious concern—mounting evidence points to her sister's death not being self-inflicted. 
When things in the house move seemingly on their own, Ember thinks it's ghosts. But Kenzi fears something far more sinister. Could the person who killed her sister now be after her and her niece?
