Synopsis

Severance meets Lovecraft in this surreal tale of corporate horror and existential dread.Joe always had potential, but he doesn't expect much, and he hopes that his new job as an admin assistant won't expect much of him either. But when he enters the offices of Ponos—a company he's never heard of and knows nothing about—he discovers that potential is exactly what they want from him.A feverish dive into the inhumanity of both late-stage capitalism and the crippling anxieties of modern life, Abyss adds a new level of meaning to 'wage slave'.

Goodreads review by Linzie (suspenseisthrillingme) on May 15, 2026

GASP! Nicholas Binge has done it yet again. Delivering a short, twisty tale that explored greed, control, loneliness, and isolation, Abyss was not only a powerful look at the modern world through a satirical lens, but also a thought-provoking critique of the society’s rapidly declining sense of huma......more
