In the cool shadows of Crowe & Sons Funeral Home in Jacksonville, Florida, Elias Crowe doesn't just prepare the dead - he claims them.
A licensed mortician with a history of schizophrenia and multiple Baker Act involuntary holds, Elias finds true companionship only in the silent, unjudging bodies that pass through his embalming room. He dresses the most beautiful young women in white lace wedding gowns, preserves them with his own rose-scented formula, and treats them as his eternal brides - whispering promises of forever while the living world threatens to tear his kingdom apart.
When complaints mount, doctors at Duval Regional Medical Center push for license revocation, and a grieving sister begins asking dangerous questions, Elias's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. With regulators closing in and his assistant growing suspicious, he must decide how far he will go to protect the only family that has never abandoned him.
Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly disturbing, The Mortician's Brides is a psychological horror novel that delves into delusional obsession, the thin line between care and possession, and the terrifying reality that some loves are colder - and more permanent - than death itself.
Perfect for fans of disturbing horror, psychological thrillers, and stories like American Psycho, The Collector, or Exquisite Corpse.
Genre: Horror / Psychological Horror / Thriller Length: Novel Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of embalming, necrophilic themes, mental illness portrayal, violence
