The Buried
The Buried

Claustrophobic survival under tyrannical subterranean rule.

If you're into narratives that blend post-apocalyptic settings with a touch of mystery and a dash of psychological thriller, "The Buried" could be your next engrossing read. Melissa Grey weaves an intense story about life underground, where strict rules bind the characters' every move, and the tale gradually unravels the grim history behind their sun-fearing existence. This book could be especially captivating if you enjoy seeing how characters grapple with oppressive regimes and the human instinct to seek truth, no matter how buried it might be.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A heart-pounding, claustrophobic new story from Melissa Grey, the author of Rated. Ten years ago, disaster struck the remote town of Indigo Falls. A horrific event drove the residents underground, into shelters that keep them safe from the danger on the surface. No one speaks about what happened that fateful day, but even the youngest still remember the fear and, most of all, the searing pain when sunlight touched their skin. Now, a handful of families inhabit this bunker together, guided by a charismatic leader named Dr. Imogen Moran. There are many rules Dr. Moran has instilled to govern life belowground. You must always tell the truth. You must avoid the light of the sun. You must never touch skin to skin. But the most important rule, the one that was drilled into their heads from the moment the hatch slammed shut all those years ago, was at the very end of the list. It rattled around in their skulls when all was silent, echoing in the quiet, lonely dark. You must never go outside.
