Gouffre Aveugle
A cartographer fights a heart-sensitive predator in a flooded Yucatan cave system.
Mara Cortes leads an expedition into a newly opened subterranean network beneath the jungle. The group encounters a blind, ancient creature that tracks prey through their heartbeat rhythms. As structural failures trap them inside and rising waters threaten to drown the tunnels, the team must suppress their fear to survive. Morrison uses the setting of Xibalba to create a tense environment where silence is the only defense against an immemorial hunter.
The story is set in the Yucatan jungle, drawing on local geography and the concept of Xibalba. It blends modern corporate intrusion with ancient supernatural horror traditions rooted in the region's landscape.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Morrison constructs a suffocating atmosphere where silence becomes a tangible weapon against an ancient, heart-sensitive predator. The novel excels in its use of the flooded Yucatan cave system to amplify themes of isolation and primal terror. By tying the creature's hunting method directly to the characters' emotional state, the author creates a relentless psychological pressure that mirrors the rising waters. This approach suits readers who enjoy slow-burn cosmic horror and intricate survival mechanics within confined spaces. However, those seeking lighthearted adventure or definitive closure may find the unrelenting bleakness difficult to sustain. It is a potent exercise in dread for the dedicated horror enthusiast.
