    About this ebook

    Trapped by a mining accident, Pete finds himself alone in the dark, buried alive nearly a thousand feet beneath the surface. He was so deep it was rumored one had to be careful where they swung their pick, out of fear of knocking on the devil’s door.

    When the battery for his helmet light dies he is plunged into an infinite darkness inhabited by the ghosts of the old legends he’d grown up listening to. Not sure if anyone is even trying to save him he comes face to face with his own mortality, and the inborn fear of death that plagues us all.
