Synopsis
Police Sergeant Vince Skinner is left baffled over a spate of missing persons and bloody crime scenes in the small Victorian town of Callow.
Who or what is attacking his residents?
Eleven-year-old Liam Burke knows - he witnessed one of the attacks. But what he saw, very few would believe, so he enlists the help of school friend, Tatha Karinjup, whose Aboriginal heritage leads them from urban legend to mythical killers from the Dreamtime.
With the guidance of Tatha's grandfather, they both must acquire courage and understanding to face these predatory creatures.
But with the hunger-fuelled attacks escalating, will it be enough to save their town and families from such a menacing, subterranean threat?
About The Author
From the Pan Books of Horror to Stephen King, from The Twilight Zone to The Exorcist, Brett Hiatt grew up reading and watching Horror.
Having always been drawn to stories that "go bump in the night" he recently decided to put pen to paper. Who knows where it may lead or what he might find there...
From Below is Brett's first publication. He hopes you enjoy it.
From The Book
Liam wills himself to look back at where the thing was, but before he has the chance, Adam Steene catches his eye, a second before a flash of black covers the boys.
What Liam sees next demolishes his capacity to comprehend.
The thing is attacking Adam, actually ripping pieces off him. Liam, confused, searches for Ricky, only to see his headless body motionless on the ground.
This horrific vision breaks the spell and Liam runs, never a key strength, but faster than he has ever run before... With tears beginning, a scream locked somewhere deep, and a wet patch across his school shorts, he skids to a stop and climbs clumsily onto his bike...
