Arnos Vale

Short story: It was a simple job. Graves were being dug up by vandals; the caskets opened and then left, apparently with nothing removed. Senseless acts, yet executed with relentless effort. All he had to do was keep a watch on the place, do some rounds and make a few snap checks. Call the police if he saw anything. Easy money for old rope? Not quite. There is a cancer that grows and spreads through the ground beneath our feet. Arnos Vale is a portal to a world of mist and shadows, where the foolish can stumble upon terrors that should not be and glimpse Nature’s cruel and despicable secrets.### David J.
