Marmalade by Roland Blackburn

IF SHE SAYS HIS NAME, HE WILL COME

In this gripping supernatural horror book, recently orphaned Prose Harden becomes the sole witness to her father’s gruesome murder, catapulting her into the eerie confines of Everbrook, a group home for troubled teens. Here, in this asylum-like institution, Prose must navigate the complexities of coming of age while haunted by an entity she’s known all her life – the Marmalade Man, an imaginary friend turned sinister predator.

As the walls of Everbrook seem to close in on her, Prose finds herself ensnared in a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between reality and nightmare. With a haunting legacy of death trailing behind her – from her mother’s mysterious demise to her stepmother’s vanishing – Prose is desperate for an escape.

In this escape thriller, Prose strikes a precarious deal with the institution’s psychiatrist: unravel the tangled web of her past and the truth behind a chilling horror mystery, and earn her freedom. But as the Marmalade Man draws nearer, Prose must confront the horrors both within and beyond the institution’s walls. Will she find liberation, or will the dark forces lurking in Everbrook consume her?

This novel weaves together elements of horror and mystery, delivering a heart-pounding narrative with a teenage protagonist at its core. It’s an unforgettable journey through the shadows of fear, friendship, and the fight for survival in the face of unimaginable terror.
