THE WAITING MORTUARY

Death is forever … most of the time.

For seventeen-year-old, Sebastian Trawler (Bash) the summer is supposed to mean parties, sleep, and hitting the beach with friends, but when his parents start to suspect he’s been lying about working at a local restaurant, he decides to take a real job that requires the least amount of effort. He finds it when he’s hired to work for an eccentric mortician who believes the corpses are moving at night.

Watching dead bodies is supposed to be easy but as Sebastian finds out there’s no such thing.

Horror and mystery meet in this gruesome tale by L.V. Pires that’s already getting great reviews…

“What a unique idea for a book! Off-and-on, I’ve thought of going into the mortuary business, solely so I wouldn’t have to deal with too many live people. Well, thanks to this book, there goes that idea! I found this book to be superbly readable, with a great mix of action, and suspense.”

“”The Waiting Mortuary” has a lot of twists & turns & just when you think it’s over…it grabs you again.”

“This book was an awesome, edge-of-my-seat read. I ended up loving Bash’s character, even though I wasn’t sure at first that he was going to be a good guy. The bad guy was soooo incredibly creepy! The fight scenes were intense and horrible–but great too. It was like I was watching them, rather than reading about them. Now, that’s good writing! I loved the twists & the whole plot. I will definitely be reading this author again.”

“I loved this book. I was guessing until the end and the implications of the final pages chilled me to the bone! I look forward to more from this author!”

“I could smell the odors as the author described them. I felt chills as I read this book. The old man’s house/funeral home was so nasty it made me want to gag. That’s how beautifully descriptive this book is. Perfectly creepy in all the right ways!! Made me not want to be alone at night haha!!!”

Desperate to find medicine for his ailing mother, Simon ventures to Bog’s End only to find the land is much more imbalanced than he thought. His only hope is to team up with fellow allies who are eager to seal the chamber, but with Simon’s body slowly disintegrating and his mind turning against him with each passing minute, will he have the strength to retrieve dark matter and rebalance the land and its people?
