We all have nightmares buried in our psyche. Gary Robbe uncovers thirteen that weren’t buried deep enough…

WWI soldiers encounter ghouls in the wastes of No Man’s Land. Siblings in rural Appalachia are haunted by their dying mother’s last request. A family discovers that tearing down an old house won’t make it go away.

And the dreams only get darker from there.

Gary’s striking and unnerving tales–ranging from folk horror, to supernatural, to weird Western–have been published everywhere from The Horror Zine to Sanitarium Magazine to the NoSleep Podcast and beyond.

Now thirteen stories are compiled in one place in NOT BURIED DEEP ENOUGH, freshly dug from a shallow grave. Are you ready to get your hands dirty?

Praise for NOT BURIED DEEP ENOUGH

“In reading Gary Robbe’s highly compelling NOT BURIED DEEP ENOUGH, it occurred to me the best horror fiction is not about the verbs, but the adjectives. Action is important, certainly, but anyone can write about the monster emerging from beneath the bed. Robbe’s brilliance is in telling you what that monster looks like. Smells like. And the precise sound its mouth makes as it begins to bite into your flesh. The stories in this collection are all superb examples of visceral imagery paired with dread, so much so I believe my stomach was clenched the entire read. Bravo, Mr. Robbe, you scared the hell out of me.”

-Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Mister Tender’s Girl

“Robbe takes you from the WWI Western Front to suburbia to Little Bighorn, and finds every nook and cranny of horror along the way. Deft characterization and Robbe’s clear voice guide you through a roller coaster of stories sure to please the horror lover in all of us.”

-Sam W. Anderson, author of Slightly Off-Center and The Money Run

“Manifesting terror through exquisite characterization is the domain of horror masters only. Gary Robbe executes this technique flawlessly in his debut collection. Readers beware: a lingering sense of dread will follow you long after you’ve turned the last page.”

-Todd Sullivan, author of the fantasy series The Windshine Chronicles and the Vampire Series of Extreme Horror

“Not Buried Deep Enough is filled with new ideas that are horrifically wonderful. All of the stories are whip-smart, creepy, and masterfully plotted. I highly recommend it.”

-Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine

“An outstanding collection of short fiction from a master storyteller. This twisted collection of macabre delights will have any horror fan flipping pages long past the witching hour.”

-Travis Heermann, author of The Ronin Trilogy and the Shinjuku Shadows series

“Not Buried Deep Enough is a collection that is at once classic and experimental. Robbe deftly conquers westerns, war, ghosts, aliens, and much more, twisting and combining classic tropes to deliver truly unique tales that examine what death takes and leaves behind. These dark stories will bury their hooks deep and haunt you long after you’re done.”

-Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot
