    About this audiobook

    They called it the Event. The Event changed everything. The earthquakes came first, including the Big One, shattering the Pacific Rim and plunging the world into chaos. Then the seas came, the skies opened, and the never-ending rain began. But as bad as that was, there is something worse. The Rising has begun. A lone man who abandoned the world for his addictions searches a waterlogged Austin for something, anything to cling to. Little does he know that something else searches for him. In the Sonoran Desert, the downtrodden of the world search for a better life north of the border, only to see the desert become an ocean: an ocean that takes life and gives death. In the woods of Alabama, survivors escape to Fort Resistance, but soon discover that it isn’t just the horrors of the deep places of the world that they need to fear; but rather a new and more deadly pestilence that has grown in their own ranks. In England, it’s too late to fight, and all that’s left is to survive. One man reaches for his own humanity, but what to do when humanity is an endangered species? And in the Pacific, He is rising. In The Abyssal Plain: The R’lyeh Cycle, authors William Holloway, Michelle Garza and Melissa Lason, Brett J. Talley, and Rich Hawkins have created a timely and uniquely modern reimagining of the Cthulhu Mythos.

    William Holloway was born in San Diego, California on September 26, 1984. He has been writing stories since 6th grade and hoping to expand his stories worldwide. He also writes poems and song lyrics. He has performed in many Open Mics and received praise for his story telling and poems. He mainly writes sci-fi fantasy stories with a lot of humor in it. Laughter makes the soul brighter and he loves brightening people’s day even when he is having a bad one. They also give a few messages that relate to the hardships going on today. Due to his all-time favorite poet and playwriter, William Shakespeare, he writes his stories in script format. There is a lot of dialogue in his stories and feels it is easier to read conversations between each character.  William’s mother was in the Navy, so he was raised in many different places along with his younger sister. The longest he stayed, in which he considers his hometown, is Virginia Beach, Virginia and Sierra Vista, Arizona where he graduated high school. He has lived in Louisiana, Georgia, Guantanamo Bay, Connecticut, South Dakota, and current resides in Phoenix, Arizona.

      Amazing story and narration.
      Highly recommended for any sci-fi fans!
    • 4/5
      Interesting take on it. It just gets going into the lore before it ends. Might make a good tv series.
    • 4/5
      Its a good modern take on HPL. Worth a read.
    • 1/5
      Misses the core aspect of cosmic horror. All four stories are disappointing. Humiliation is not necessarily horror. Why bother with squids when you have the entire mythos to work with? Already dated two years after publication. Too much head-hopping. Amateurish. Is the bar really this low for publication?
