About this listen

Long before the events of Stolen Tongues . . .

On the Cold Valley Indian Reservation, in the shadow of Pale Peak, Onwe Lopez struggles with the past as much as the present. By day, he watches his people abandon the Old Way as they flock to the local church. By night, he dreams of his childhood friend Akántha, who vanished from the rez decades prior.

Then, catastrophe strikes: a horrific accident brings a stranger to town with stories of unfathomable death. A ghastly figure wanders the night, peering into houses and terrorizing a tribal elder. Hideous whispers emanate from the nearby caves, beckoning Onwe inside—and promising to return everyone he's lost.

The Church Beneath the Roots is the story of a town ravaged by memory, riven by change, and haunted by a sinister presence as old as the mountain itself.

What a gem

Holy cow, this is amazing. I read Stolen Tongues after reading the NoSleep story, and decided to give this a shot after that. This story is worth every penny. What an amazing continuation of that whole universe!

Phenomenal follow up to Stolen Tongues

A fantastic follow up and prequel to Stolen Tongues. I love the way Blackwell writes. You can tell the enormous amount of heart and research that went into this book.

WOW, just WOW!!!

This is even better than Stolen Tongues. What an amazing story….the characters so well developed, story so incredibly well written, ending with a little twist.
Even the narration was incredible.
I sincerely hope the author considers another book about the new land developments over the old tunnel. Would be another great listen.
Someone should turn this into a movie or mini series.
Thank you, Felix, for the best horror yet!!

Really enjoyed this

This was a great story. It wasn’t as scary as Stolen Tongues but it had a way better ending! Listening to what happened to Noomi was tough! Trigger warning for animal lovers. Torment the people. Leave the dogs alone!

unexpected

when I first heard stolen tongues I was 17 years old and woke up to mistercreepypastas narration of the nosleep version from before it was novelized and fell in love with the atmosphere of being stuck in a cabin with an eerie creature on the otherside of the door. I didn't like stolen tongues narrator on audible and felt it made the book corny. this book and narrator really show how much more human the characters that Felix creates have become. I highly reccomend to anyone who wants a good spooky thriller that you can listen or read to while it's snowy and cold outside

A Great Prequel

I’m so glad to say I enjoyed this as much as Stolen Tongues (which had me huddled under blankets at times). Felix is a great storyteller. Makes me want to go visit those mountains.
