The Waking Grave

A man wakes inside his own coffin - and that's only the beginning of the lie.
Edmund Cross tells his story from beyond the grave: betrayed by his wife, her brother, and his own uncle, buried alive while his terrified nephew Jonah begged them to wait. It reads as a tragedy of greed and black magic rumors in a small village - until the story turns on itself. The burial was never a betrayal Edmund survived. It was one he engineered, with the help of a lover most never knew existed, to expose his enemies' confessions in their own voices and destroy them completely. The cruelest twist isn't the staged death - it's what Edmund knowingly did to the one person who loved him without condition, and never told him the truth.
A psychological horror story about grief, revenge, and the difference between protecting someone and using them.
