by Sheldon Higdon (Author)

"The twists keep coming! It's a page turner all the way through!" -Corey Farrenkopf, author of Living in Cemeteries and Haunted Ecologies

When Benjamin Cole's 83-yr-old father commits suicide, he's thrust into a dark family secret that had been hiding in plain sight. With the task of selling the old family farm, repressed memories and chilling discoveries force him to confront the horrors that lie inside it.

But when his girlfriend's son is kidnapped, Benjamin must figure out what is reality and who is family. Because in order to save the child, Benjamin will have to learn the truth of his father-and who Benjamin himself is.

"Sheldon Higdon's Dark Roots is a deeply disturbing and brilliantly twisted read. Blending the haunting psychological depth of True Detective, the relentless tension of To Catch a Killer, and the eerie dread of The Black Phone, this story grips from the first page and never lets go. It's a nightmarish descent into darkness that will make every parent's skin crawl and stomach turn. A solid 5 Shovels read!" -Thom Erb, author of Snow Black, The Last in Line, and Heaven, Hell, or Houston
