false 341930 1 "Down-and-out Nicholas and his friend Nakota one day discover a black hole in the floor of an abandoned storage room in his apartment building, which they quickly christen the "Funhole." The two set out to see what happens when they drop various items into the hole, whetting its appetite with insects, a mouse and a human hand, which all come back violently rearranged. Next, they lower a camcorder into the hole to record the action within. The videotape they retrieve is spellbinding, but there's a catch: what Nicholas sees is different from everyone else's vision. To Nakota the hole means change, because whatever is dropped into the Funhole emerges transformed-- if it ever emerges. Mesmerized by the Funhole, she claims that Nicholas is the only one who can make things happen around it. For Nicholas himself, the hole is a phenomenon that forces him to face his miserable, aimless life. Koja has created credible characters who are desperate for both entertainment and salvation. Inaugurating Dell's new Abyss Books series, this powerful first novel is as thought-provoking as it is horrifying." - Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. 332292 5 1 1991 The Cipher total:57|5:22|4:14|3:16|2:5|1:0| 57 224 97 6 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 12:52:12 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 12 19:50:13 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Aug 19 07:45:48 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 10:15:33 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 07:45:48 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Nov 21 17:10:05 -0800 2007 Sun Mar 09 03:56:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Mon Nov 26 17:42:09 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 26 17:42:56 -0800 2007 too dark, even for me.
