Descrizione
In the heart of London, beneath the bustling streets and the vibrations of daily life, a team of workmen unearths an enigmatic object while expanding the Underground Railway. What they first perceive as a simple anomaly quickly spirals into a chilling mystery woven into the fabric of the city’s history. This discovery, initially dismissed by some, begins to evoke a sense of foreboding among those who come into contact with it.
As more details emerge, curiosity turns to terror when it becomes clear that the object harbors secrets from a distant past—one that hints at an ancient and malevolent intelligence. Kim Newman masterfully crafts a narrative that intertwines elements of science fiction and horror, propelling the characters into a whirlwind of psychological and supernatural challenges that threaten not only their sanity but the very fabric of reality.
The protagonists are drawn into a web of conspiracy and fear, battling against both the unknown forces connected to the object and the skepticism of the very society they aim to protect. Their journey forces them to confront not only their own past traumas but also the implications of humanity’s place in the universe.
As the tension escalates and the stakes become existential, the lines between man and myth, knowledge and ignorance blur, leading to a gripping climax that leaves readers questioning the nature of existence itself. Newman's narrative resonates with those who dare to explore the darkest corners of human curiosity and ambition.
