In Dark Ophelia, debut author Sean Wooley creates a rare science fiction masterpiece that is plot driven, but also offers archetypical characters that are unforgettable. Fascinating and delightfully macabre, this sublime and epic novel is filled with horror and mystery in equal measure. After the apocalypse, in which supernatural beings take over the world, seven strangers-a motley crew that includes a prostitute, a killer, and a street musician-join an alliance to fight an unknown evil. Led by a mysterious man, their real purpose is unclear. Under siege and against all odds, the bedraggled team treks hundreds of dangerous miles through the decimated remains of society to an abandoned cabin in the woods. It seems that the dark force, which follows their every move, knows them all too well. As one secret begets another, the eight unlikely heroes begin to suspect that the key to their struggle rests in a shared past.
