The Last Cup

By Michael E Lewis-Shermer

Mara works the late shift at a quiet diner on the edge of town, where the regulars are predictable, the nights are long, and the silence feels just a little too heavy. But when strange occurrences begin to ripple through her routine -unsettling encounters, cryptic conversations, and a growing sense that she's being watched -Mara starts to question what's real and what's slipping through the cracks. As her grip on reality begins to fray, buried memories surface, and the diner becomes a pressure cooker of paranoia and dread. Is someone trying to send her a message, or is the diner itself reflecting something darker within? The Last Cup is a slow-burn psychological thriller steeped in atmosphere, perfect for fans of Sharp Objects, The Night House, and The Vanishing. With haunting tension and a deeply introspective edge, this novel explores trauma, isolation, and the terrifying comfort of routine when everything else begins to unravel.
