Synopsis: A disgruntled grad student finds a way to get rid of his problems in this &“creepy, satiric twist on the campus novel&” with an &“utterly chilling ending&” (Publishers Weekly).An International Horror Guild and Shirley Jackson Award–Winning Author and a Bram Stoker Award Nominee Massive crowds of adoring fans gather at West Georgia University&’s football stadium every Saturday to see the mighty Fighting Bobcats. Underneath the stadium, in a dingy office, PhD student Alex Kern toils away, grading undergrads&’ papers, struggling to pass his own classes, and bemoaning his crumbling romantic relationship. Then one day, he discovers a strange, seemingly bottomless hole. When Alex throws a rock into it, he can&’t hear it land. And before long, he throws something else into it: a very annoying student. But nothing happens. No missing-person alerts. No investigations. Alex then disposes of a world-renowned Ezra Pound scholar. Still nothing. Everything appears to be fine. Until he makes the mistake of dropping the Fighting Bobcats&’ star quarterback down the hole . . . &“Takes on every aspect of campus life with razor-sharp glee, especially the all-too-common elevation of sports over academics, and the unforgiving hierarchy of academia. Alex&’s metamorphosis, from basically decent to completely unhinged, is both terrifying and fascinating.&” —Publishers Weekly
