About this listen

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 . . .

Critic Reviews

Old-school creepy . . . five-star horror (Stephen King on Ascension)
A rollicking good read. Playful, inventive and vivid, with addictive narrative drive (Lionel Shriver, internationally bestselling author of We Need to Talk About Kevin on Ascension)
A weird and wonderful horror novel . . . Binge is an author to watch (TJ Klune, author of The House in the Cerulean Sea on Ascension)
Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself – what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between (Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters on Ascension)
Abyss does a fantastic job of staying uniformly creepy and claustrophobic, drawing its inspiration from a wide variety of sources while remaining trippy as heck.
The horror book for our modern age . . . I f***ing loved it
This novella understands the hollow ache of modern life and transforms it into something terrifying, tender, and impossible to forget
