From Bram Stoker Award-nominated author, Ross Jeffery, comes a new horror novel focused on a father’s journey to find his missing daughter.

Henry’s daughter was fourteen when she went missing and he’s been burying pieces of her ever since. Each totem Henry places in the ground is a memento mori of his daughter’s life that he’s desperate to forget. Surviving with the guilt of his possible role in her disappearance, and more than likely her death, Henry is unable to move forward.

All is not lost though, when a stranger appears at Henry’s grief counseling group with a dark and disturbing proposition for him. “Have you ever tried to make contact with your daughter, to see if she’s passed?” 

What follows is a tale of deception and possession like no other. With thriller pacing and words that bleed off the page, Ross Jeffery delivers a terrifying nightmare of how grief can climb inside and bury itself in the human heart.

PRAISE FOR I DIED TOO

“Ross Jeffery is the two things you long for most in an author of horror: first he’s fearless. Second, he’s giving. Giving you, the reader, all the fear instead.”

—Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Daphne

“A powerful examination of the shattering depths of grief.”

—Tim Lebbon, author of Among The Living

“This book HURTS. It hurts so much…I Died Too is a fantastic hidden gem of a grief horror tale.”

— Vi the Librarian

"A compelling exploration of emotional complexity and dread. I Died Too... reaches from the grave forcing you to take its hand." 

—James Ashcroft, Award Winning Director of Coming Home In The Dark

“Ross Jeffery is bold. He writes about the very worst and the very best parts of people, proving how ugly and glorious we can be.”

—Priya Sharma, British Fantasy and Shirley Jackson Award Winning Author

"I Died Too, But They Haven’t Buried Me Yet is a novel in which Jeffery’s passion for his art literally oozes from every page. Prepare yourself for a visceral tale of woe!"

—Catherine McCarthy, author of A Moonlit Path of Madness and Mosaic
