Date Night with a Corpse
A diary-driven horror novel about obsession and moral decay.
Seville builds a story that stares directly at ugly truths. The main character's thoughts show a slide into insanity driven by a sense of deserving more. No forgiveness or clear ethics are provided. Rather, it demands an analysis of how harm hides behind kindness. The plot moves only through the teller's perspective. There is no rescue or joy at the end. The focus stays on the character's crumbling mind and warped perception.
This 2025 release from Franklin Pub. sits within the tradition of transgressive fiction and psychological horror. It draws on the diary format to create intimacy. The work engages with contemporary anxieties about narcissism and the performance of normalcy in modern relationships.
