Summary
 Something is moving beneath the house. And it sure as hell isn't a raccoon. At first, it sounds like an animal scratching beneath the floor. Then the floor starts to rise. What follows is a rapidly escalating nightmare involving one ordinary Texas man, his wife, and creatures that have absolutely no business existing. As the trouble spreads beyond their home, things get increasingly dangerous, ridiculous, and completely out of control. And the man telling the story isn't exactly the most reliable person in the world. They're Beneath Us is a fast-paced creature-horror short story filled with dark humor, bad luck, questionable decisions, and a narrator who has plenty to say about all of it. Part of The Stranger series, where the monsters are terrifying, the situations are absurd, and the storytelling is anything but conventional. Content advisory: Contains frequent strong language and scenes of violence. Intended for adult readers.©2026 J.D. Melton (P)2026 J.D.
