Those We Bury Back

"I had to stop and take a break when the doll was introduced..."

"[T]he scariest book about hope and love that I've ever read." (Amazon review)

Braden's parents should have been imprisoned for the abuses they perpetrated on him as a child. But Braden's moved on. Wife, kid, nominal success as a novelist - and no contact with his parents for years.

Then a box of his books is accidentally - and mysteriously - delivered to his childhood home. Against his own best judgment, Braden swings by the old place with his three-year-old, Josiah, to pick up the box. In and out, super fast, no big deal.

The house has other ideas.

Infected by the traumas his parents put him through, the house traps Braden and Josiah with its lone occupant. It turns Braden's long buried memories into corporeal horrors threatening his fragile, still-recovering psyche and the childhood of his only son. Braden must quickly uncover what exactly the house wants from him--

Or if it is, in fact, the house that's haunted.

A new novella by Bram Stoker Award Finalist Tom Leveen.
