About DIGGUM
When personal tragedy strikes, some men pray. Other men despair. This man goes to war.
Meet the local graveyard caretaker, who lives in a small cottage at the edge of the lot. Diggum has spent most of his life angry with God, whom he blames for the devastating house fire that cost him his family.
But the caretaker has a secret. It is a secret he will carry to his own grave. It is a secret that he hopes will finally get him his ultimate revenge on God.
DIGGUM is a short tale of dark horror from the mind of Isaac Thorne, a nice man who simply wants to provide you with a few fun frights. His story is one of rage and revenge. At some point in our lives we all ask the “why” question. This gravedigger demands an answer.
The short story version of DIGGUM is available from ebook retailers everywhere, including for Amazon Kindle. You can find more short tales of dark comic horror by Isaac Thorne on Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, Google Play, and Smashwords as well as other outlets.
