A Dark Sleep Story for GrownupsBy MF Fleming

About this audiobook
Night after night, in a chair beside a single lamp, Agatha takes down a story she has carried too long, hands it to you for the length of one telling, and keeps it again once you've fallen asleep. Stories held too long, told slowly.
The Far Tombstone. One winter, a woman with a gift for paper takes a quiet job cataloging the archive of a small Kentucky town — the slow, emptying kind of work a person does to keep from thinking. Then a column stops adding up. A single pauper's plot at the cold end of the churchyard holds nine burials the register insists are there, a survey insists were never dug, and the gravestone rubbings come back blank — again, and again, across sixty-seven years. Every one of them went into the ground in the same week of October.
No one ever lied. Every record is honest. That is the unbearable part.
