About this audiobook

What if your final heartbeat was not the end of life, but the beginning of an infinite, terrifying awakening? In H.G. Wells’s deeply unsettling psychological horror "Under the Knife", a routine medical procedure devolves into a cosmic nightmare. As the suffocating stench of chloroform paralyzes his body, a man’s soul is violently flayed from his bones. Trapped in a breathless, phantom state, he is forced to watch the frantic doctors mutate into desperate butchers, fumbling in his pooling blood. Then, a monstrous, unseen magnetism violently drags him out of the room and flings him into the freezing, pitch-black throat of the deep universe. Earth shrinks to a dead speck; time rots until millennia pass in a heartbeat. Drifting alone into a silent, starless void, he faces a terrifying eternity - until a colossal, grotesque cosmic Hand emerges from the dark, gripping the entire universe like a trapped insect. Press play now, surrender to the void, and pray your mind finds its way back...
