    About this ebook

    When wealthy sophisticate Jabez Massingham's young bride mysteriously vanishes from a Broadway drugstore on their wedding night, he becomes consumed by a sinister, primal fear of the bustling metropolis. As Broadway's urban jungle threatens to close in decade after decade, Massingham wages a desperate campaign to barricade himself against its creeping tentacles, though he knows the cosmic forces of fate may have already sealed his doom.
