It is said that stories form the foundation of religions, dynasties and legends. However, tales bound up in the walls of a library known as The Abyssal Black are unique. They contain the life of the soul who wrote it, scripts not written by quill or typewriter, but in the words and deeds of the protagonist. They are tales of import, of gravity, and were recorded as one volume amongst tens of thousands stacked in these ancient bookcases. Doubtless you will have read many stories in your time. Yet only some will capture your imagination to the extent that they transport you to new worlds, cause you to inhabit the mind of the author, to feel what they felt, to share what they knew. Now envisage that sense of immersion amplified a thousand-fold. This is the encounter waiting for you in the Abyssal Black. In Tales from the Abyssal Black Volume I, Tom Adams introduces you to the Keeper of Books, together with his Seekers. They present to you the first four stories published in this series, as well as a brand new tale previously unreleased. From the author of Mycophoria and Flash Flood

You're seeking the ultimate experience, but is the prospect that you'll be dead in the next twenty four hours a thrill too far? Fourteen T-types make landfall on Apocritas - a newly discovered, earth-like planet with extreme sporting challenges to test one's mettle. Only there's an unanticipated additional event - dodging the bullets fired from two of the party's self-appointed hunters. Climbing precipitous peaks, wing suiting from dizzying heights and white-water rafting down a torrent more hazardous than the Colorado, are just three of the stages to be completed. As if that wasn't enough, the native prehistoric animal life is less than friendly. Enough of a challenge? They thought they'd be earning accolades from fellow coffin-dodgers and a cash prize, but the greatest reward might just be their continued survival. From the author of The Psychonaut comes this fast-paced tale of inter-galactic horror.

Over the emergency intercom, a tormentor makes himself known, someone who directs and orchestrates the murderous intents of the thing that's made planetfall on the students' little world.As the minutes tick by on a countdown that can only end with them becoming meat for this murderous pair, Bram discovers that when it comes to stalking - he's just an amateur.From the author of 'The Psychonaut' trilogy and 'Mycophoria', comes a novella of breath-taking intensity.

Welcome to the world of the beastly, the monstrous and the diabolical. Tom G.H. Adams has compiled six tales to disturb and unsettle you, each one written in blood dripping from his dark pen.

A place where even children are held accountable. Can you imagine the torment? Tom Adams can, and he wants to share his visions with you. Beasts, Brutes and Abominations features a story about majestic creatures roaming the earth at the time of the Great Flood, a glimpse into the life of a woman who has sex with machines and a leaf from the diary of a teenage girl who's conscience has been seared as if by a hot iron. All these and more, tied together with author's notes after every story, giving the reader an insight into his twisted inspiration. You have been given an invitation to enter these worlds of horror, written in the classic tradition of Ramsey Campbell, James Herbert and John Connolly.

This latest collection from Tom G.H. Adams contains nine stories that explore the power our fantasies hold over us and the price they exact: A biotronic assassin is on a mission to destroy a key player called the Synchro-Dog. But who is a greater threat to the grand order? A young boy holds an uncanny power over insects. Such an ability can be used for selfish or noble purposes. Surely he will choose the righteous path?When you're incarcerated in a medieval gibbet there are many thoughts that pass through your mind. Most prominent of all is how long it will take you to die.What happens when reality breaks down, when the very ground you walk on threatens to open up and swallow you at a moment's notice? Maybe you don't want to think about it. Maybe oblivion is a better option.Nightmares come in many forms. Being eaten alive by something you can't even see must surely rate as one of the worst imaginable.What is life's greatest addiction? Joni has experienced some of the strongest available but now he's looking for a way out. Will the Rainforest Queen give him what he wants?Curiosity killed the cat, and a well may be the death of this unfortunate investigator. Will it come from the thirty foot fall or the two figures he thought were his rescuers?We all have mountains to climb. Some are physical, others metaphorical; but they all have the power to fixate.Corvids get a bad press, but they aren't all harbingers of doom.We long for that which will release us, but we must always weigh the rewards against the consequences of beckoning the empty in.From the author of The Psychonaut trilogy and Mycophoria, this collection will disturb and provoke. It is most definitely not a cosy read
