Buried Secrets
He Came Home With the Black Sack
Some secrets won’t stay buried—especially when they come clawing up from the dark. When Eli’s grandfather dies under mysterious, violent circumstances, a tattered notebook reveals the truth: something monstrous was unleashed in the haunted coal mine decades ago, and it’s never stopped hunting. Now Eli is the only one willing to face the curse that shattered his family. As cryptic warnings, ghostly apparitions, and chilling messages begin to invade his life, Eli must decide whether to dig deeper into the mine’s nightmare—or run before he becomes the next to vanish. What really happened underground, and why is the terror following him home? The answers are buried in darkness... but some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

As forbidden rituals, buried secrets, and a legacy of stolen lives unravel, Riley must decide how much of herself she’s willing to risk for a client who should never have survived. When the past refuses to stay dead, can Riley break the cycle—or will the Blackwells’ sins claim another soul?

His wife returns, twisted and relentless, forcing Carter to flee into the skeleton of an abandoned building, haunted by memories and hunted by something that may not be real. As guilt, grief, and horror converge, Carter must decide: can he trust anyone to save him, or is he doomed to be destroyed by his own secrets? When the line between hallucination and reality shatters, will Carter’s final confession be heard—or will the truth stay buried with his wife?
