About this listen

An abandoned mine. A mummified corpse. A simmering evil.

When a shriveled body turns up in an old silver mine, failed detective Syl Dixon gets pulled into the investigation. But the strange case is even more sinister than she imagined. And the dying town of Pate, Idaho is full of secrets that don't want to be uncovered. People go missing all the time. Strange howls echo from the woods. Eerie portraits hang like shrines outside homes. But nobody-including the local sheriff-seems to care. The deeper Syl digs, the more she realizes she's facing a malicious darkness that has plagued Pate for over a century. Can Syl rid the town of this evil before it swallows everything in its path, including her?

Strange Small Town Horror, Mystery

A generational, small town horror story based around the families and their mining history.

The small town of Pate, Idaho has secrets.
As failed detective, Syl Dixon, comes to town to sell her old family home, a strange shrivelled corpse it found in the towns silver mine.
He appears to be mummified.

Problem is….

Townsfolk testify that they saw him walking around only. Couple of day s earlier.

Syl, is asked to help.

As she delves into the background of the victim, more strange information comes to light about other townspeople.
One family in particular, has a rather darker past than some others

A lot of the disappearances of the people seems to centre around the old silver mine and the Forrest surrounding it.

Told through multiple POV’s and multiple timelines, this is, at times very gruesome and graphic.

I. Enjoyed the tension though.

It’s was extremely atmospheric.
