DeKnight and celebrated comics artist Michael Gaydos, with letters by Toben Racicot. Originally released as a comiXology Original, Beneath is a visceral story of survival, suspicion, and the terrifying unknown.

Deputy Sheriff Jess Delgado is tasked with transporting the sole survivor of a mysterious attack along the Texas-Mexico border to CoreCivil, a for-profit immigration detention center closing down due to widespread protests. Housing only a handful of remaining detainees and manned by a skeleton crew of disgruntled guards, the detention center becomes a desperate battleground when something otherworldly emerges from deep below the earth. Something that only fears the light. Deputy Delgado must pull together the guards and detainees—two groups that hate and fear each other—to survive the night. Or fall to the vengeance of the things that live Beneath.

To survive the ultimate horror, they must confront what lurks below the surface. A definite on the pull list for those who love Something is Killing the Children, Infidel, Unearth, and The Walking Dead.
