The Buried and the Drowned. Some things are not meant to be forgotten. An ancient timber circle emerges from a storm-lashed coast. A secret chamber is discovered beneath a Victorian zoo. A long-lost tomb of undead knights is unearthed beneath the streets of Paris. These dark short stories from NY Times and USA Today bestselling author J.F. Penn range from the volcanic shores of Iceland to the silent depths of the Pacific, exploring the thin veil between myth and reality, science and the supernatural.
