Cold Empty Rooms

[A] masterful work of subtle horror… Marino’s prose is striking and evocative, elevating haunted house tropes and creating an undeniable sense of creeping dread. This is a stunner. –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Cold Empty Rooms is like reading something you were not meant to read. Dark and genuinely upsetting, good vibes curdle and good intentions warp while you get a front row seat to watch a commune fester into a cult!”–Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow
“Cold Empty Rooms is an era-defining work of horror, a trembling blend of Richard Matheson’s Hell House and Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple. Andy Marino writes with the ensanguined elegance of Clive Barker, the perverse propulsion of Chuck Palahniuk, and the haunted hearts of Mariana Enriquez, creating something wholly and terrifyingly his own. I will gladly follow him wherever his writing takes me, even all the way to the depths of Hell.”–Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Mr. Lonelyhearts
“Cold Empty Rooms is, hands-down, the most brilliant and terrifying haunted house novel I’ve ever read. Dread and horror is palpable on every single page. Marino is a singular talent, and the rest of us are just trying to catch up.”–Keith Rosson, author of Coffin Moon
“A dream-like tapestry that had me mesmerized and discomfited from the very first page as it unraveled. Deliciously tense and languid, Cold Empty Rooms is a delirium of creeping existential dread that will have you doubting reality.”

–E. L. Chen, USA Today bestselling author of Slasher Summer
