Beneath By David R. Connatser In the mist-soaked backwoods of an 1800s town, a graveyard owner named Graco keeps watch over his cemetery with a caretaker’s pride and a mourner’s respect. Every grave is a promise kept… until the dead begin disappearing. When bodies vanish from their resting places without a trace, Graco’s quiet life fractures. Strange markings appear in the soil, unsettling whispers drift through the night air, and an unease settles over his village like a shroud. Determined to uncover the truth, Graco digs deeper only to find something sinister haunting his cemetery. With the reluctant help of the local constable, a reclusive doctor harboring secrets of his own, and his stubborn, ill-tempered horse Prince George, Graco begins to unravel a mystery that winds beneath the town’s very foundations. Every clue pulls him toward a revelation more shocking than anything he could have imagined - one that threatens not just the dead, but the living who walk above them. What Graco uncovers will force this small town to confront its darkest truths… and prove that some horrors refuse to stay buried. With an array of interesting characters, Beneath is a horror-suspense novella that drags readers into a world where mysteries, secrets, and the restless dead collide. Recommended for ages 14+
