The Abyss

Steve Vance self-published this book in 2000 after originally publishing it in 1989 and boy am I glad he did!!!This is an excellent story; original and fresh with great character development and a smooth plot, that never bogs down or disappoints. Vance has created some truly memorable people in Cathy and Gregory, not too mention an 8-foot giant and a crazy little midget. Cathy's brother has died in a tragic accident, but is it an accident?She receives a postcard from her brother at an unusual time when he supposedly died.She journeys to the small Indiana town and encounters some really strange oddities, a mansion, a giant, a midget, a 17 year old amateur boxer, an international diplomat's daughter, and a retarded little girl.People injured in town are taken to the York mansion.What for?And ruin the story?Not a chance.Steve, two thumbs way up!!!

I enjoyed reading this bookd from page one. The plot kept me wanting more. Filled with a lot of suspense and drama. An excellent book.
