Miles In The Dark
A Texas prison transfer turns into a supernatural nightmare when reality breaks down.
Marinelli uses the confined space of a vehicle to build dread. The focus rests on Matt Turner's growing realization that the mission is not what it seems. Miles Vandershaw remains a central figure, yet his role shifts as the troopers lose their grip on the situation. The text relies on the tension between duty and the impossible events unfolding outside the car. Marinelli draws on the tradition of Texas gothic fiction to create an atmosphere where the landscape itself becomes hostile. The story does not offer easy answers or clear resolutions. It leaves the reader with a sense of unease as the boundaries between the real and the strange dissolve completely during the transfer.
The book is set in the heart of Texas, drawing on regional gothic traditions. It features DPS troopers and Texas Rangers, grounding the supernatural elements in American law enforcement culture. The narrative reflects a specific period of independent publishing through Createspace.
