About this listen

Some secrets are buried for a reason.

When a crumbling crypt is uncovered beneath the old cemetery at the edge of town, whispers of its existence begin to spread. Drawn by curiosity and an unsettling pull they can’t explain, a group of teens soon discovers that the crypt is far more than a forgotten resting place. It is a doorway. And something beneath it has been waiting.

As moonlit nights grow longer and strange symbols appear carved into stone, the group realizes they are bound to the crypt in ways they never expected. The deeper they go, the stronger the darkness becomes, feeding on fear, secrets, and unfinished promises. With time running out, they must uncover the truth behind the crypt’s curse before it claims them forever.

But some darkness does not want to stay buried.

The Moonlit Crypt is a chilling middle-grade supernatural mystery filled with eerie discoveries, ancient secrets, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Perfect for listeners ages 9–12+ who love spooky stories, hidden worlds, and brave characters facing the unknown.
