Enter the world of The Iridescent Abyss, a dark psychological & esoteric cosmic horror story told through the eyes of a mysterious figure (who may or may not be based on the author and his own personal experiences with acquired insanity) who have found themselves in a truly bizarre world; where giant trees with sail-like leaves propel suspended islands through the void and where the very fabric of reality is merely a suggestion.
Join him as he wanders the floating islands of this vibrant reconstruction of his own personal hell, meeting all manners of monsters, entities, cultures and peoples alike. At the same time, he struggles to survive, let alone thrive, in a world which he was once fascinated to explore, only to become ensnared in its frigid embrace...
