Buried Secrets

By Adriano Lomonaco

Silence can be a refuge.

Or it can be a weapon.

In the secluded town of Whiteridge, silence is not peace. It is an agreement-one that has kept a buried truth hidden for years.

Thalia has never spoken. But in her sleep, she whispers. Names. Places. Fragments of a past the town chose to forget.

As her drawings grow more precise and her nocturnal words begin to surface, fear spreads-not of the unknown, but of what everyone already knows.

Anna, her mother, understands too late that this is not a story about belief or disbelief.

It is a story about complicity.

About what happens when an entire community decides that silence is safer than truth.

Buried Silence is a slow-burning psychological horror novel where the real terror is not what haunts the dark, but what people are willing to live with in the light.

There are no easy answers.

No clean resolutions.

Only the weight of what was left unsaid.

Perfect for readers who love:

Psychological and literary horrorSmall-town stories built on secrets and guiltQuiet, unsettling narratives that linger long after the last page

If you are drawn to stories where dread grows slowly, morality blurs, and silence itself becomes a form of violence, Buried Silence will stay with you.
