Book excerpt: Kelly Miller doesn't believe in the paranormal, despite that being his rural Kansas hometown's only claim to fame. He's seen nothing to support the rumors of Victorian-Era cult violence spread by the locals and exploited by televised ghost hunters. The lack of evidence doesn't mean it never happened, though. When he's hired to help relocate a crumbling cemetery, it will test his beliefs. A twisted corpse rests in one of the century-old graves, giving evidence of live burial. In another coffin, more than bones come up from the ground. The hushed tales of curses take on credibility as misfortune spreads, and people die. Something is driving those Kelly knows to tear themselves apart, and after witnessing it firsthand, he doubts his sanity. He knows these things aren't possible, but maybe there was a reason people were being buried alive in the old cemetery.
