Then the floor starts to rise.What follows is a fast, darkly funny descent into panic as one ordinary man, his wife, and an increasingly nervous town discover that something has been living beneath them all along.Theyre Beneath Us is a short horror story about bad luck, rising panic, and what happens when something underground decides to come up.
