The Hollow Beneath

A Supernatural Horror Thriller

The earth didn’t just crack open. It started to sing.Reverend Garrick Jefferies came to the dying town of Harrow’s Creek to escape the noise of his past. Five years ago, he was an arrogant structural engineer who missed a fracture in a bridge that killed three people. Now, he’s a vicar hiding behind a collar, seeking redemption in the quiet order of scripture.But in Harrow’s Creek, the silence is a lie.When a sudden earthquake splits the foundation of his church, Garrick realizes this was no natural disaster. The fissure doesn’t smell of sulfur; it smells of ozone and lilacs. And it isn’t spewing lava—it’s leaking a sound. A rhythmic, wet ticking that echoes from the deep.Then the voices start.Old Man Miller drowns in a dry cornfield. The Sheriff walks willingly into a sinkhole, smiling at the sound of his dead daughter calling his name. The town is being hunted by an ancient, silicon-based hive that has slumbered beneath the limestone for centuries—a predator that uses the voices of the grieving's lost loved ones as a lure.Teaming up with Joss Rider, a chaotic geology student with a theory that terrifies them both, Garrick must do the one thing he swore he’d never do again: trust his math over his faith.Because the thing beneath Harrow’s Creek isn’t a demon. It’s a frequency. And to kill it, Garrick will have to bring the whole world crashing down on his own head.Faith is a shield. But physics is a weapon.For fans of Darcy Coates, T. Kingfisher, and the scientific horror of Michael Crichton, THE HOLLOW BENEATH is a claustrophobic, high-octane descent into the dark.
