Haunted Tales From the Hospital

Darrell Bartell brings together three distinct narratives that blend medical settings with supernatural horror. The first story follows an Army veteran working as a security officer who confronts the Mayan god of death to protect his partner. A second tale centers on a Navy SEAL’s daughter whose Olympic swimming ambitions end after a drunk driving incident, leading her to uncover her true heritage. The final narrative tracks a former marine turned social worker who employs tarot cards to track a serial killer who has returned from the dead. Bartell holds awards for distinction in writing and performing arts, including the 2022 Communicator Awards and the 2025 International Impact Book Award. These credentials frame his approach to mixing elements of American television dramas with macabre fiction. The book is organized as a collection of three separate tales rather than a continuous novel. Readers who enjoy supernatural thriller genres will find this work suitable. Those seeking traditional ghost stories or pure medical procedurals without horror elements may not connect with the material. The text relies on specific character backgrounds to drive the plot forward. The intersection of military service, sports injury, and occult practice creates a unique atmosphere for each story. The publisher lists this as a book format released in 2025. It appeals to fans of genre blending who appreciate structured narratives over experimental prose.
