"Compelling, gripping, claustrophobic, and creepy as hell, STAY BURIED was a roller coaster of emotion from start to finish."

The image of the book cover for Stay Buried by Jane R. Miles includes the tagline 'the cyclone has passed ... ... the nightmare remains' over an image of an old gravestone that's fuzzy / blurred. It's sitting in a red / dry dusty looking area with something red smeared across the front of the image and a blue / green sky above.
