Beyond the Abyss

by B. Luciano Barsuglia

Beyond the Abyss presents a reimagined mythos where resurrection is only the start, madness has form, and the dead are no longer the most dangerous things in the . Herbert West never intended to start a war with the dead. When he is forced off campus for the disappearance of six cadavers and forbidden to continue his Reagent experiments, West refuses to let his life's work die. A secret deal with an unlikely ally spirals into murder, resurrection, and the horrific rebirth of a severed head that refuses to stay West manipulates, deceives, and kills to perfect the science of reanimation, former partner Edene Wells is dragged back into his orbit, torn between helping him and stopping him before his genius becomes catastrophe. But West's private project is bigger than any chemical in his lab is the Nerathic Necronomicon, written in an ancient language no one should translate. As allies, enemies, and opportunists collide, Herbert's experiments twist into something far more dangerous. Old blood is spilled. New bodies rise. And when West and his mentor Dr. Allen Halsley open a forbidden passage from the Necronomicon, the boundaries between science and sorcery rupture.
