In Dark Ophelia, new author Sean Wooley traces the redemptive, if unrelenting, hands of survival and strife to provoke our darkest fears in this ominous thriller that introduces science fiction and horror fans to seven unlikely heroes. With pounding action and a pitch-perfect prose, this haunting debut novel is as imaginative as it is thoughtfully crafted.Following the apocalypse, seven strangers—including a street musician, a prostitute, and a killer—will form an unlikely and uncomfortable alliance in order to stay alive. The truth is: they have very little choice. As the world lay in ruins, supernatural beings led by an unknown evil force wreak havoc on what is already utter chaos. With time running out, each survivor makes his or her way over hundreds of grueling miles of the annihilated remains of society to an abandoned cabin in the woods where a mysterious man they believe has been reborn to protect them awaits. It is there that they begin to question how it is each of them survived—and why. What seemed like coincidence is anything but, and they realize that the insidious and merciless darkness that follows their every step knows them all too well. Ultimately, each character must face personal demons to confront the darkness that wants only to destroy them.
