Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Andrew “The Weirdling” on January 18, 2020

This book is a collection of four pieces by four different authors. Normally the quality of anthology books is uneven. This book, however, is the exception. Every one of the four was excellent, leaving me panting and wanting more. Ammonia by William Holloway sets the stage for an “event” which has oc......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on December 01, 2019

The Abyssal Plain: The R’Lyeh Cycle is an epic Eldritch Apocalypse Horror that will change apocalypse fiction forever. The novel is comprised of four separate parts, each one a story of the events from a different area told by a different author. It begins with “Ammonia” by William Holloway. Holloway......more

Goodreads review by Eric on June 10, 2023

If, like me, you picked this up expecting Lovecraftian, post-apocalyptic, cosmic horror, in which mad-blasted, unknowable, indescribable entities of ancient, alien intelligence, rise up from their fathomless slumber in their cyclopean, non-Euclidean megalopolis, and cause the Earth to become over ru......more

Goodreads review by Mike on January 17, 2021

If for no other reason, get this to read the first novella inside, Ammonia by William Holloway. That alone is worth the price of admission and is a 5 star read all on its own. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Talley's contribution as well.......more
