It Sleeps Below

by William F Gray, Wicked House Publishing

Overview

After thirteen-year-old Samantha Morris almost drowned in her parents’ lake, the nightmares that followed paled in comparison to the real-life horrors of watching her mother descend into madness. By the end of the summer, Kate Morris disappeared without a trace.

Now an adult, Samantha is faced with another unexpected loss in her partner Ellie as well as the return of the nightmares. Only now, they’ re bleeding into her waking hours, forcing her to question her own sanity, and they’ re only getting worse. As the line between real and imaginary continue to blur, physical manifestations of her dreams beg the question: is she losing her mind like her mother, or is she being targeted by something far more sinister?

Lovecraftian cosmic horror and dark mystery meet to form It Sleeps Below, a novel with grief and loss at its black, beating heart.
