The Hum Below: Novella
Some sounds aren't sounds. They're invitations.
Nina Vance has heard the same note her whole a low B-flat behind her back teeth that nobody else can hear. She built a career chasing it — small-town stories about noises with no source, hums with no machine.
Then a man slides a photograph across a diner table in West Texas.
Marcus Webb spent eleven years filing paperwork for a facility that doesn't officially exist. He knows how many cameras watch the south fence. He knows what happens to the files of the people they take inside. And he knows his sixteen-year-old niece is on a list.
What Nina finds isn't a body count. The missing come back — fed, clean, unmarked, and empty. There is no statute for what happens beneath that building, where something has been humming since 1866, and where nine thousand stolen lifetimes turn slowly in the dark.
But Maya Webb isn't running from the facility.
She's been walking toward it since she was nine.
The Hum Below is the first book in a series of West Texas cosmic horror. Novella length — approximately 25,000 words.
