Bitter Suites

At The Bitter Suites, death is no longer final.

For the right price, clients can check into a luxury hotel room, choose the death of their dreams, and trust the Resuscitators to bring them back with a fresh appreciation for life. Romantic poisonings. Nostalgic suicides. Circus-themed executions. Death has become entertainment, therapy, addiction, and status symbol all at once.

But beneath the hotel's polished surface, something is going wrong.

A first-time client discovers that dying is messier than advertised. A couple's romantic suicide exposes the rot in their engagement. A grieving woman seeks forgiveness in a cup of poisoned tea. A thrill-seeker becomes addicted to the only thing that makes him feel alive. And as the hotel's founder struggles to keep control, the promise of renewable death begins to unravel into obsession, exploitation, and horror.

A Bram Stoker Awards® Finalist for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction, Bitter Suites is a sharp, unsettling, darkly funny descent into a future where mortality has been monetized—and where the true terror is not death, but what people will do once they stop fearing it.

Perfect for readers who enjoy speculative horror, psychological dread, body horror, dark satire, and stories that ask how far society will go to sell us salvation.
