The Graveyard Rats

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. In Salem's oldest, most neglected cemetery, caretaker Old Masson wages a losing war against a colony of gigantic rats growing ever more intelligent and dangerous. Secretly robbing the dead to line his own pockets, he grows uneasy over vast burrows, whispered underground horrors, and the sense that something far worse than vermin may be stirring beneath the graves. On a cold, rain-soaked night, he sets out to loot a fresh burial before the grieving can return, only to find the coffin already emptied from below. Greed and curiosity drive him into the rat-made tunnel after the missing body and its valuables, but the cramped passage quickly becomes a trap as the earth shifts and the darkness closes in. Swarming rats, a crawling animated corpse, and a frantic struggle for escape turn the graveyard's hidden depths into a collapsing tomb of terror, where decay, superstition, and buried secrets blur into a nightmare of survival.
