Trigger Warning
Yes. This book is disturbing. It’s horror.
But it came from the mind of a four-year-old so if you can’t handle it, you might want to
check in with yourself as to why.

Praise for Boe Healy
"If Boe Healy is coming up with madcap ideas like this at the tender young age of FOUR...
then there really isn't much point of the rest of us continuing. This is a wild ride, relentless, and breathtaking.
I needed a sit down after reading this, but then I'm fifty and he is four."
- DE McMcluskey (Crack)
image-placeholder"This book was such a fun and terrifying time that took me back to when I was a kid, reading scary bedtime stories to myself.
I enjoyed everything about it and the fact that it came from the mind of a four year old made it even better.
If it was possible to give it even more than five stars, I would."
- Angel Van Atta
image-placeholder"This story threw me for a loop! I found myself constantly wondering what was going to happen next.
I guess it goes to show that some of us are just born with the unique gift of storytelling.
I am incredibly thankful that I was able to experience this wonderfully funny, horrific, inspiring work of art."
- Stuart Bray (Violence of the Meek)
image-placeholder"Truely Riveting! It's a disturbing Disney tale soaked in blood and appendages giving birth to a new boogeyman.
The Healy's have created something out of this world and like nothing you've read before!
Something out of the mind of Tim Burton on steroids!"
- Dan Shrader (Soulless Lonesome)
image-placeholderCreative, creepy, and downright disturbing, THE DEATH DIGGER reads like an original Brother’s Grimm, a perfect mix of modern meets medieval that combines for a perfect tale of terror.
–Candace Nola, author of Bishop
Introduction
Dear readers,
The entire plot of this, the story, the characters and their names, the horror and the twisted details, and all the imaginative magic is one hundred percent from the brilliant mind of my son, Boe. He just asked me to write it down and make it sound better, so I took what he gave me and suped it up a bit with language and pacing. It feels wrong to even put my name on it because it is definitely his, but I knew if people read it with the writing assistance I gave, they would say there was no way this story came from a four-year-old. It did though. I just made it sound better.
On the other hand, maybe I shouldn’t admit that because it’s a little disturbing that someone so young could come up with this story (and the details like the bags and the grave scenes and the arm… all him), but he’s like me and he’s always been into Halloween and spooky stuff. He’s also a really good kid, who shares and encourages people, compliments, and loves hard. He loves to help with cleaning and chores, enjoys school, raises his hand, and respects his teachers. There’s nothing wrong with him. I’m actually super proud of the man he’s becoming. He just… really loves creepy, scary things. I can relate.
He also loves telling stories and crafting and weaving tales. He loves to create games and pretend he’s filming live streams or starring in a YouTube video. He’s a natural storyteller with a wild mind-blowing imagination. When he came up with this one it was a bit of a conundrum. His first book was all over the place. It was a bit insane in a fun way and I kept it
