A cemetery restorer solves a deadly riddle in a haunted graveyard.
Amelia Gray restores lost cemeteries for a living, yet she finds her true calling lies in understanding the dead. Kroll Cemetery presents a unique challenge that has baffled investigators for over fifty years. The headstones contain intricate engravings and strange inscriptions that form a puzzle. Ezra Kroll’s disciples died in mass numbers, and their spirits remain trapped within the cemetery walls. They wait for someone clever enough to release them. Amelia is drawn to this remote location by forces from both sides of the grave. Her investigation brings her face-to-face with an unlikely killer. The stakes involve her mental stability and her relationship with John Devlin. Stevens writes a story that blends professional detail with supernatural horror. The narrative does not rely on jump scares but on the creeping dread of a solved mystery.
This work sits within the American gothic fiction tradition, focusing on rural isolation and the supernatural. It draws on lore surrounding mass deaths and spiritual entrapment. The story is set in a remote graveyard, emphasizing the disconnect between modern life and ancient burial grounds.
