The White Room Runs Red: A Psychological Horror (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276119342)

The White Room Runs Red is a new psychological horror from Matt Shaw

There's two beds, one on either side of the room. There's a single toilet for residents to share. There's a two-way mirror through which the residents can be viewed. And then there's James and Emily, two strangers - stripped of clothes and dignity - who have no idea how they came to be trapped within the room or why they're there. The questions come thick and fast (why, how, who) but no answers come back, only instructions; when the light turns red, they must go to opposite corners of the room and stand with their backs to the room. From there, the handleless door will open and a nurse will come in to monitor their blood pressure, their temperature and - on occasion - take their bloods. There's a promise: Do not push back and their lives within the white room will be made infinitely more comfortable with a series of rewards. There's a second promise: Fight back and face the severe consequences, leading to the "experiments" starting again from scratch.

Trapped within the room, all James and Emily can do is speculate how they came to be imprisoned and why. Will the answers ever come? Will they ever be freed from the White Room or - will the white room run red?
