They pronounced her dead.
The paperwork agrees.
Unfortunately, Maren Caldwell woke up anyway.
Maren comes to in the county morgue-taped down, tagged, and already filed as a problem nobody wants to explain. The night tech who finds her is terrified. The man who shows up to handle it is calm in the way only powerful people can be. And the deeper Maren pushes, the clearer it gets: this isn't a mistake. It's a system.
With a jittery morgue employee who knows too much, a best friend who runs on caffeine and righteous fury, and one nurse brave enough to leave a clue, Maren is forced to sprint through fluorescent hallways, locked doors, and polite institutional lies that smell like bleach.
WAKE UP DEAD: SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE is a darkly funny, razor-tense suspense-horror thriller about bureaucracy as a weapon-and what happens when a simple clerical error is trying to put you back in the drawer.
Perfect for readers who love:
- dark humor with real stakes
- conspiracy thrillers and institutional horror
- fast, cinematic pacing with grounded, intimate prose
- one woman versus the system stories that don't blink
Open the drawer. Just don't expect anyone to apologize.
