Born of the Grave

An Alien Invasion—Born of the Grave

Nobody's Happy When The Dead Come Home!

One year after burial, the dead in a rural Appalachian town are burrowing out of their graves and returning to their earthly homes--with deadly consequence for their loved ones.

As the terror spreads, a claustrophobic mining engineer, a female entomologist, and their team must enter the dank confines of a long- abandoned coal mine to attempt to destroy a hybrid alien that threatens to transform life on earth.

The author, a former coal mining engineer, draws upon his never-forgotten childhood dreams and nightmares and a life-long fascination with insects to create a uniquely Appalachian science fiction/horror story of first contact with an alien life form.
