The Slab

The Slab

Written in powerful prose as dangerous as its desert setting, The Slab is a true epic of horror and dark suspense.

A skull in a fire pit.

A man who can’t remember his murders.

A woman snatched off the street, then set free only to be hunted down like an animal—until she becomes the hunter.

When these threads wind together, the result is unstoppable suspense and unforgettable horror. In the grim days following 9/11, three veterans of different wars are drawn together in one of the most remote, forbidding areas of the California desert. As serial killers ply their deadly trade and an ancient evil grows beneath desert sands, these three must discover the terrifying bond they share and learn to harness its power—before the darkness spreads and the world they know is gone forever.

The Slab was released on May 12, 2019.

Endorsements
“This novel is so jam-packed with action, morality plays, and diversity, that in lesser hands than Mariotte’s it could have easily become confusing. If you have ever read and enjoyed those epic horror novels from the 70’s and 80’s (think Dan Simmons’ work) where you were immersed in a sprawling world of rich characterization, smart plotting, and enough subplotting where the horror was deliberately episodic and horrifying, The Slab will be the perfect read for you.”
