Inspired by contemporary “creepypastas,” ROOM OF CLOTH is a horror novel for the Information Age that will appeal to fans of literary horror and psychological suspense. Discretion advised: this novel contains scenes of graphic violence and allusions to physical/emotional abuse and sexual trauma.
” . . . AND IN ITS PLACE WAS A ROOM OF RED AND BLACK, THE WALLS WHEEZING OUT HOT, BLOOD-DRENCHED BREATH, UNDULATING AS THOUGH ALIVE, ENVELOPING HIM IN HEAT. A ROOM OF FLESH AND BONE. A ROOM OF CLOTH.”
When Sebastian Creed returns home after a yearlong disappearance, his sister Sarah hopes she can finally get him off the drugs and make up for the many years she left him to suffer at the hands of their late, alcoholic father.
Only Sarah has no idea that Sebastian has brought back with him something far worse than any drug. In the depths of the web, he found “Room of Cloth,” an unfinished manuscript linked to disappearances and suicides, rumored to drive its readers insane.
For Sebastian, completing the story means escaping from a ruined life to a place free of pain and suffering. The manuscript tells him as much, first on the page and then in his dreams. We’re waiting for you, the voices whisper. All are welcome within the room of cloth. All are saved.
When Sarah also falls under the manuscript’s influence, she begins a desperate bid to save herself and the family she once abandoned, unaware that Sebastian may have already opened the door to a fate neither can escape—even in death.
