Write the blurb to your first horror novel.
A blurb should intrigue the reader; introducing the main characters, and describing the plot, without giving too much away.
The Abyss Of Nightmare
Alana Daggers stands in a sunless void surrounded by a warning silence. She sets out with her co-adventurer, Jack Strider. Usually, Alana thrives on the unpredictable path, but this one sends a shiver down her spine. Jack falters as he steps into the thick shadows with a nervous tick, and his jaw clenches. Despite the stomach turmoil, urging them to pull back, pride and ego push them forward into the vast darkness. A chance to be the first to map out a labyrinth of newly discovered caves, to prove themselves on an expedition every caver dreams of. As they descend into the tunnel branches of the underworld, Alana’s skin prickles; there is a reason no one has disturbed what time has forgotten—decades of stale air, a hint of metallic taste and bone-littered caverns. A jolting echo vibrates from an unseen movement in the pits below, realisation sinking in. They are not alone. A slithering predator lurks. One misstep injury spills into a bloodthirsty frenzy. Charged by the sense of fear and rapid heartbeats. The hunt begins. Testing more than just instincts, Will Alana be Friend or foe? Hero or executioner? Once you enter, there's no escaping the nightmare abyss. It is no longer a race to discover, but to survive!
