Publisher's Synopsis
Deep in the Arizona desert, there is a town that doesn't exist on any map. Gideon's Hollow has no gas stations, no cell service-and no way out.
When Dr. Ellis Harlow, a geologist, is sent to investigate a mysterious sinkhole that appeared overnight, she expects a simple job. But as she enters the isolated town, she realizes something is horribly wrong. The townspeople refuse to speak after sunset. They board up their windows. They watch her with wide, terrified eyes. And at night, the ground breathes. Then the missing posters start appearing. Names she doesn't recognize. Faces that look eerily like her own. When she tries to leave, she finds herself right back where she started-as if the desert won't let her go. And the sinkhole? It's growing. Inside, there are voices. Begging. Weeping. Whispering in a language no one speaks anymore. And the longer Ellis listens, the more she understands: The earth isn't swallowing people. It's spitting them back out. And whatever's crawling up from below wants to wear her skin next. ⸻ A terrifying supernatural thriller rooted in ancient horrors and inescapable fate, The Mouth of the Earth will leave you questioning what lies beneath your feet... and whether it's already hungry for you.
