This wasn't a field trip. It was a burial.
For forty years, the caves beneath Pendleton University have been sealed, and the town of Bennington, Vermont, has been glad of it. Then, in 2002, they reopen. And the tremors begin.
To geology student Alex and his classmates, a descent into the caves is nothing but extra credit, until one tremor cuts off the way back up and leaves only one path forward: through the abandoned mine that already buried a crew of miners alive, where something is still waiting in the dark. Something hungry. And the deeper they go, the more the hunted start to look like the hunters.
A claustrophobic creature horror novel for fans of The Descent, The Luminous Dead, T. Kingfisher's What Stalks the Deep, and The Last of Us.
Every case file stands alone. Start anywhere. The tapes are connected, if you know where to look.
