Stirrings in the woods and over the treetops--the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. Paranoia and distrust grips the settlement. The escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral towards madness. Hell--or the closest thing to it--invades Little Heaven.

But the strangely compelling client she interviewed today - a man with no name, accused of the most twisted crime - struck her as somehow different from the others, despite the two impossible claims he made. First, that he is more than two hundred years old and personally inspired Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Bram Stoker in creating the three novels of the nineteenth century that define the monstrous in the modern imagination. Second, that he's Lily's father.

Par Nick Cutter. 2015
A plague called the 'Gets' is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things…
at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. Below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, a substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer that may just be the key to a universal cure. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But now the station is incommunicado, and it's up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unravelling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths, and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.
