Burrow
BURROW
by Derek Heath
Born with an agonising mark on his face in the shape of a crescent moon, Elliot Carlisle-or Moony-has lived with pain for most of his life. When he and his wife, Sarah Lee, move to a remote cabin on the riverbank to make a fresh start for themselves and try to repair their fractured marriage, he hopes to leave some of this pain behind. But there's something across the river, and it calls to him...
As Moony becomes obsessed with digging his pit across the river, burrowing into the earth to get to whatever the voice believes is down there, Sarah Lee is faced with a burrowing of her crippled by guilt for the things she's done, and fear for the things yet to come, she is confronted by ghosts-visions of a yellow-faced man, a bloody and savaged ghoul, and a rabid, furious version of Moony himself-and all the while, the hole grows deeper...
Burrow is a tale of obsession and, at its heart, a ghost story. But what is the thing at the bottom of the pit? And what are the terrifying figures that stalk them, if not ghosts?
