About This Audiobook

Pine Deep's newest cemetery groundskeeper thought he'd found the perfect quiet job maintaining the town's historic graveyard. But as autumn settles over the Pennsylvania countryside, strange sounds and unexplained disturbances suggest that something beneath the weathered headstones refuses to stay buried. When his late-night rounds reveal increasingly unsettling evidence that the dead aren't resting peacefully, the groundskeeper must confront whether Pine Deep's dark reputation stems from local folklore or something far more sinister lurking in the shadows between the graves.

Ray Porter's dual role as co-author and narrator creates an intimate connection between storyteller and story that elevates this atmospheric tale. His measured delivery builds tension through careful pacing, allowing each creaking gate and whispered wind to resonate with mounting dread. Porter's intimate knowledge of the material shines through his nuanced performance, capturing both the groundskeeper's growing unease and Pine Deep's oppressive atmosphere. At just over an hour, the runtime proves ideal for this concentrated dose of supernatural horror, making it perfect for a single evening's unsettling listen that will linger long after the final words fade.
