Mother Lola: A Disturbing Psychological Suspense Novel

By J. S. Conley

"Three words for this book: WHAT THE F***?! An awesome and unique horror story... Such a different concept, I can honestly say I haven't read anything like this before." "This book was a fever dream... The ending was just too good! I cannot put into words what I just read." "This short, character-driven, horror story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There was quite a bit packed into this quick read and is great for those who like reading things that have you guessing what's real and what's not." A shapeshifting monster is born. It emerges from its shell and as it explores the world, it discovers an interesting species living in the woods with it - humans. Over time, the monster learns that these humans are much different than other species, not only because of their intelligence, but because of their deep ability to suffer. Suffering has been at the forefront of Benjamin Callahan's life. The winter is cold, the harvest is barren, and his youngest daughter has caught a deadly disease. Ben wants nothing more than to end his suffering, but in his pursuit to end the pain, he makes one fatal mistake. During his ensuing encounters with the shapeshifting monster and a strange woman who claims to be his mother, can Ben pick up the pieces of his fragmented mind? Will his guilt finally unmask the wounds he's tried so long to suppress? Set in rural 19th century America, Mother Lola is a psychological suspense about psychosis, guilt, and the instability of the human mind. This short classics-inspired novel will immerse you in an atmosphere of dread and the climactic end to Ben's journey will be unforgettable. "You'll make everything better?" "That's what a mother is here for."
