Cold Empty Rooms

From the dark imagination of underground horror sensation Andy Marino comes a haunted house story like you've never read before...

"Marino's work is unlike any others in the genre – horrifying, complex, fascinating, and utterly unique." – Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author

Deep in the woods, on the side of a mountain, there sits an old, sprawling manor. Only those who truly need it will find it.

Mara and Soren are the latest residents. The two are broke, deeply in love, and desperate for a home.

But something is wrong with the house. Soren begins to receive messages from a nameless entity that he has dubbed The Great Other. The first direction is simple: Invite more to this home. The second: Relieve them of their sorrow.

Mara, too, hears this otherworldly voice. She has been running from her past for a long time. The Great Other offers her the solace she seeks, if she has the courage to walk the home’s shadowed halls.

Soon more wanderers begin to arrive: a collection of outcasts, drawn in by Soren’s magnetic ideology.

As his feverish teachings force the residents to reveal shocking truths, old griefs scratch their way onto Mara's heart. Every day, Soren seems more dangerous. More devout. Mara knows she should leave. But within the shifting walls of this ancient home, something darkly miraculous is unfolding.

Wounds have been suffered in this place. Wounds that are. Wounds that will be.

“Andy Marino understands horror in a way that very few writers do." – Keith Rosson, author of Coffin Moon
