"I haven't been this scared since Pet Sematary."
"A double dose of horror that will chill you to
the bone! The twists and turns in this story are so
well-paced they punch you in the gut ...
like Dean Koontz, John Saul, and Stephen King combined. Yes, LaFlamme is THAT good..."
-- Betty Dravis, author of "1106 Grand Boulevard"
and "Millennium Babe: The Prophecy."
"...a compelling scenario that will
both pull at your heart strings and chill your
blood. The Pink Room is one of those
books you won’t like to read alone at night."
-- Mayra Calvani, Armchair Interviews
"Like Stephen King at his best, LaFlamme doesn't
stop at visual terror. He takes us inside the
diseased minds of the most psychologically
intriguing characters I've ever seen. "
-- David Griffiths,
columnist, Twin City Times
I hate to compare LaFlamme with Stephen King, because no doubt everyone and their brother does, both of them being from Maine. However, it must be said: Like Stephen King, Mark LaFlamme is a devoted student of the human condition. It shows in his writing. Honest. Gripping. Intriguing.
Michelle Souliere - Strange Maine
The world's leading physicist, in a delirium of genius, attempts to use the science that has consumed his life to bring his 8-year-old daughter back from the dead. This is Theodore Currie. The tormented scientist builds a Victorian home in the Maine woods, fashioned after the dead girl's dollhouse.
There, surrounded by his daughter's most cherished items, he waits for her to come home to him. He waits for an alignment of the planets, the power of the solstice, and the intricacies of quantum physics to come into play. With toys to entice, gravity to tug at unseen dimensions, and string theory to unravel the world's most ancient secret, a grieving father awaits the return of his child from a place eternally unreachable. The little girl that comes to him is a child no father could want.
The Pink Room is a place where science meets terror.
It's a year later in Mulberry, Maine. Government agents lurk like scavengers, hungry for all the knowledge the great physicist imparted before his grisly demise. But a new man has moved into the spectacular Victorian. This is Jonathan Cain, a writer with a story to tell and a dead wife to mourn. Sooner or later, Cain will hear the haunting sound of Fur Elise from the snow globe and he will step into the Pink Room. And he will wonder if there is something magical about the place, after all - something magical and powerful enough to bring his beloved back to him. Another man gone mad with grief, Cain will sit among a little girl's things and wait for the solstice.
A tale of
depthless grief, cutting edge science, and the horror of tampering with the laws
of God and the universe. Your fascination with the science will give way only to
fear. And few things are more fearful than terrors draped in pink.
