June Challenge - "The man she buried is back and knocking."

You kill a monster to save your daughter.

Step by step you learn more.

Her abuser returns.

Set in the last golden age before cellphones or internet. A lost love. Ten years gone, only to find the loss she mourned should never have been hers to grieve in the first place. The deceit not near as disheartening or shocking as the way it was discovered.

In a town where the dead rise with the moon’s absence, Lenora Blackwood walks the line between life and loss — guiding wandering corpses home, while wrestling with the one ghost she can’t let go: her mother.

The Abuser comes back, always haunting his daughter. She tries to make things right for herself, but she knows she will never escape the memories and pain he left on her skin...

The man I buries is back, knocking

Carol's husband is missing. Her best friend Laura comes to stay with her while the police are searching for Roger. Soon, things go from bad to worse as the fabric of reality begins to unravel for Carol.

She escaped a suffocating and abusive marriage through the "death" of her ex-husband, Randall Strong. Now he is back and knocking at her door, demanding retribution.

She knew the brain was wired to detect danger and her brain was more than most, but it had been 30 seconds or so now and the man was still tall, still broad, she could still see the greying hair and she wondered, heart pounding, what the hell he was doing in the outskirts of south wales.

Not all marriages are perfect. And nothing stays buried forever...
