From the dark imagination of underground horror sensation Andy Marino comes a haunted house story like you've never read before ...

"Marino's work is unlike any others in the genre—horrifying, complex, fascinating, and utterly unique." —Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of the Wilderwood series

Deep in the woods, on the side of a mountain, there sits an old, sprawling manor. Only those who truly need it will find it. Mara and Soren are the latest residents. The two are broke, deeply in love, and desperate for a home. But something is wrong with the house.

Soren begins to receive messages from a nameless entity that he has dubbed The Great Other. The first direction is simple: Invite more to this home. The second: Relieve them of their sorrow. Mara, too, hears this otherworldly voice. She has been running from her past for a long time. The Great Other offers her the solace she seeks, if she has the courage to walk the home’s shadowed halls. Soon more wanderers begin to arrive: a collection of outcasts, drawn in by Soren’s magnetic ideology.

Within the shifting walls of this ancient house, something darkly miraculous is unfolding. Wounds have been suffered in this place. Wounds that are. Wounds that will be.

“Andy Marino understands horror in a way that very few writers do." —Keith Rosson, author of Coffin Moon

Critic reviews

“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
“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
"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
