A terrifying journey into evil by the highly acclaimed Richard Laymon. 'No one writes like Laymon and you're going to have a good time with anything he writes' Dean Koontz
'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat' Stephen King
Mordocks's cave is one of the wonders of the world: a place where, every year, thousands of sightseers go deep beneath the earth's surface to marvel at Nature's handiwork. But it's also home to things Nature never intended - violent, evil things. And when a power failure traps a group of tourists underground, the creatures emerge from the darkness...
