In this novella, Curran taps into that sense of what’s below our feet as another world.
A world from a past so distant from ours that we’ve forgotten what lurks there. The reader follows Boyd down into the depths and understands his reasons for taking the job in the bowels of the mine, even as things take turn after turn for the worse.
