While taking care of his father’s affairs after his passing, Thomas Secrist discovers his grandfather’s military footlocker from the First World War. When opened, an old diary of bizarre passages and horrid descriptions is found among the belongings. What Secrest discovers, is something not of this time or world.

I have followed the Skulldiggery books for years now and Author DM Gritzmacher never ceases to amaze me. The Trench allows the reader to unearth a dark anomaly of warfare and archeological horror. It bestows disturbing conditions of diseased soldiers, eerie battlefields and tortured screams that will make you wanna carry a crucifix into battle. Within frightful folklore, The Trench possesses hideous creatures that have an insatiable appetite for draining blood.

Mr. DM Gritzmacher weaves an uncomfortable tale of terror. His spooky subterranean passageways into cryptic fiction is like a building crescendo of despair and anguish with a backdrop of brutality. The claustrophobic tension and clever blindsides will become memorable moments for the reader. The Trench taps into very real situations and common fears that let loose with an abundance of undeniable abhorrence. What Peter Benchley did for the ocean and aquatic life, DM Gritzmacher has done for quarries and archeological relicts.
