While it may evoke comparisons to Stephen King's "Pet Sematary," "Melissa" forges its own distinctive path. Rather than focusing solely on horror elements, it delves deep into spiritual and ethical territories. The story explores Nathan's journey from scientific hubris to a profound spiritual awakening.

Recent Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟:

"This is an intense and exciting story! 

I enjoyed the descriptiveness in the writing and thoroughness of the story. There's a mixture of faith/religion and science. 

I did feel like it was similar to Pet Cemetery, because it's a story of bringing a person back to life. 

But, overall, it is an enjoyable and fun read. I like the author's writing style too. 

Love can make you do crazy things!" - Alison O.

Morgue's Embrace: A Gripping Excerpt from Melissa ( Ch. 18)

Moments of bliss, shadows of fate

In the vibrant tapestry of life, our early thirties often represent a period brimming with potential. Careers are flourishing, dreams are being chased, and the concept of mortality feels like a distant horizon, a reality acknowledged but seldom truly contemplated. 

It's a time when we believe ourselves invincible, encased in an armor of youth that renders us untouchable. But life, in its capricious nature, has a way of shattering illusions. 

On the Edge

The unthinkable can happen in an instant, leaving behind a desolate landscape of grief and disbelief.

This is the brutal reality that Nathan confronts in Chapter 18 of Melissa. Struck by a sudden and merciless blow, he finds himself in the sterile, antiseptic embrace of the morgue...

Unveiling a Gripping World (Excerpt 5, Chapter 18)

When Love Meets Loss

The morgue's air was a thick, suffocating blanket of antiseptic fumes, stinging his eyes and constricting his lungs like invisible chains. The chill of the room seeped into his bones like an insidious poison, permeating the very essence of his being...

Nathan's heart clenched in a vise-like grip, his gaze drawn to her lifeless form—the gentle curve of her cheekbone, the strands of her hair framing her face in a heartbreaking parody of sleep.

Tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to spill over, a torrent of grief that threatened to overwhelm him. A heart-wrenching sob tore from his chest, a desperate plea against the suffocating silence that enveloped him.

What our readers said: 

"This story took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I laughed, I cried, and I held my breath as Nathan faced unimaginable choices." - Constança Baptista, Beta Tester.
