'Beneath' by Kit Tinsley is a well done horror novel. It has all the right elements, characters you like and feel you know, an evil that threatens them, and a bit of mystery as well.Dan Martin buys a nice home for himself and his family in a seemingly peaceful neighborhood. Things are going well, the neighbors are all friendly and diverse, from the ex policeman next door to the college kids renting out a house down the street. Things turn wrong when Dans dog keeps digging in a certain spot in the yard, and falls into a hole that leads to an underground chamber.At first the thought is it is an old well, or cellar of an old house that might have been there before, but it is much, much older than that. And now that it has been opened, black cloaked figures are seen in the yard at night and a sense of something not right takes over the once happy household. Things go from bad to worse, as things escalate and the origins of the underground chamber are discovered.This book was a enjoyable read. It was a nice paced, good characters and an interesting idea of what if your house just happened to have a source of evil in its back yard.I liked this book, and would read more by the author.
