Twenty-four-year-old Derek is a loner and has a very humdrum life. 

But that’s the least of his problems and soon changes when he loses his job as a construction worker.   

Despondent and bored, Derek reluctantly takes a job at a local cemetery. If that’s not creepy enough, he has to work with the soon to be retired caretaker, Charlie Kramer.  Charlie’s got his share of secrets and Derek has a sneaking suspicion that most have to do with the old cemetery.  But Charlie’s not telling and Derek is about to find out on his own what secrets the graves hold.  

There are dark and malevolent forces at work and Derek soon finds out that all is not dead at this place of rest.           

What devilish presence is at work and what unspeakable acts will Derek commit as it begins to take control? Can he escape its grip on his soul and what is the secret of the cemetery?           

For those who are fans of the horror genre, Swafford’s edgy, imaginative and wicked prose will have you looking over your shoulder and believing that ghosts do exist.  With sharp dialogue and a fast-moving plot, this is one book that you’ll devour in one sitting.
