Death Beneath Us

THE TUNNELERS by Geoff Gander is one of the best stories I've read in 2019, even though this story was published in 2011. The journal format, which includes interviews and research notes, builds the suspense and horror perfectly, while only revealing bits and pieces.

Halfway through reading, I googled legends of the First Nations to figure out which parts are historical and how much of the story is a creation of the author. What I found convinced me Gander is Lovecraft reincarnated.

If you only have time to read one more story before the new decade, make it this one.

As always,
