Marley’s Melancholia by Oscar O'Rourke

“A thrilling piece of page-turning psychedelic horror!”

Oscar O’Rourke is a masterful writer of horror fiction. In his new short story he introduces the reader to Marley—a woman fighting to escape a hotel that seems to want her dead. This fast-paced thriller will leave you gobsmacked and shocked!

Marley has never been a normal woman. She’s always appreciated that fact about herself. She’s always leaned into her worst tendencies with an astonishing proudness. Yet, her demons finally catch up to her one day (in a very literal way) when she accidentally murders a co-worker and is left to deal with how her employer—the head of a massive drug operation—reacts.

Shadows in the night. Feral cats. Junkies. A jealous daughter. Will Marley escape the Wuthering Hotel and all of it’s perils?
