Death Ward 13: A Gripping Psychological Horror Thriller in the Slasher Universe

Prepare for a harrowing journey through the darkest corridors of the human mind.

In 1973, amid a relentless storm in the treacherous mountains, the infamous Stephens Sanitarium for the Criminally Insane is about to be shuttered forever. Four rookie nursing students, lured into a night shift, must supervise the remaining inmates, deemed "harmless" by authorities. However, as night falls, they find themselves trapped with deranged psychopaths, notorious for failed lobotomies, serial killings, and unchecked madness.

In a desperate fight for survival, the nurses' sanity teeters on the edge, ensnared in a sinister psychological game of cat and mouse. At the heart of the terror is Nurse Charlotte, eternally tormented by the suicide of her twin sister in a similar establishment. Driven by guilt for leaving her sibling behind and a sincere commitment to aiding the mentally disturbed, she confronts a haunting question from her past: did her parents commit the wrong daughter?

"Death Ward 13" marries the atmospheric mystery of "Shutter Island" and the engaging narrative of Edgar Allan Poe's "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether," but with a contemporary twist and escalating suspense.

This is a standalone novel in The Slasher Universe.
