Beneath Claybourne Heights
Some stories never stay buried.
Claybourne Heights isn't just a neighborhood-it's a wound. Forgotten by the city and feared by its own residents, it hides something ancient beneath the cracked sidewalks and boarded windows.
Zee, a sharp-witted and guarded young woman, has always sensed there was something off about the building she calls home. But when neighbors start vanishing and the shadows begin moving on their own, she's forced to confront the truth: Claybourne Heights is alive-and it remembers everything.
Guided by visions, an old diary, and an elder who reads bones and bloodlines, Zee uncovers a legacy of hidden pacts, cursed families, and the supernatural force festering beneath the streets. As the line between memory and madness starts to blur, Zee must decide if she'll fight to break the cycle-or become part of it.
Dark, lyrical, and unapologetically raw, Beneath Claybourne Heights is a supernatural urban horror novel about legacy, power, and survival in a world where the past never stays buried.
Perfect for readers who love the haunting depth of Victor LaValle, the ancestral echoes of Tananarive Due, and the bold vision of Jordan Peele.
