Blurb – Into the Abyss

By Brinda Phokeerdass

Grief is memory's cruelest mirror.

When neuroscientist Elijah Harper loses the love of his life, he turns to an experimental memory device—a machine capable of recreating the past with haunting clarity. At first, it's salvation: a chance to see Lena again, to feel her presence, to relive every stolen moment. But the deeper Elijah dives into his memories, the more reality begins to fracture.

What begins as a journey through remembrance spirals into something far darker. Glitches appear—voices that shouldn't exist, versions of himself that don't belong, and an ancient entity lurking within the folds of time and thought. As the lines between memory and madness blur, Elijah must confront an impossible truth: the machine doesn't just replay the past—it feeds on it.

And it's hungry.

Into the Abyss is a psychological sci-fi horror that explores love, loss, and the terrifying cost of never letting go.
