Gentle readers–
Can anyone identify this book?

I’ve been SEARCHING to no avail for this book I read and I know nothing about it other than it probably came out in 2000-2002. It was a “scary” book. And the only details I have was it was about a boy and his friend who go to or maybe investigate a slaughterhouse and they end up getting lost in the tunnels underneath it? And they hear the cows, something or other, and in the end the boy makes it out and his friend he claimed to have lost in the tunnels never existed (when he told family and police). If you know ANYTHING could you please please help me?
I’ll make you a deal. Identify the book correctly and I’ll send you candy. It’s getting to be that trick-or-treating time of year, anyway. 🙂

This came out in 1991, but could you maybe be thinking of Dan Simmons’ “Summer of Night”? I believe the boys in that book do wind up at the slaughterhouse eventually, and there are tunneling creatures which the adults deny.

Sorry, scratch that. You said the friend disappeared. Hmm.
