A cloister’s uneasy miracle

At the Sisters of Divine Innocence, silence and a disturbing burial ritual shape a secluded religious community already carrying secrets. Sister Rafaela arrives seeking redemption from a horrific past, but the death of a stranger—and the body’s resistance to decomposition—divides the nuns between claims of sainthood and suspicions of something darker. With Rafaela and local priest Father Bruno investigating, the novel brings supernatural horror into contact with religious belief, guilt, and the uncertainty surrounding an apparent miracle.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in occult and supernatural horror set within a religious community.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving questions of sainthood, miracles, and evil.
  • Adult readers looking for horror centered on a newcomer confronting secrets tied to her past.

Book overview

"I am ready to join the Sisterhood of Viggy after reading The Rotting Room. Time to take my vows, now that I've novitiated on this awe-inspiring novel, and commit myself to a lifelong calling of reading whatever Parr Hampton writes." -Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

 

Sister Rafaela, a newcomer to the cloistered Sisters of Divine Innocence, yearns for redemption from her horrific past. However, her new abbey, bound by a vow of silence and a disturbing burial ritual, hides its own sinister secrets.

 

When a mysterious stranger arrives and dies soon after, her body resists decomposition, sparking fevered claims of sainthood among the nuns... but Rafaela suspects something far darker.

 

As the abbey teeters on the edge of madness, Rafaela and local priest Father Bruno race to uncover whether the Sisters of Divine Innocence are graced by a divine miracle-or consumed by unspeakable evil.

 

"Hampton delivers a masterclass in narrative restraint, yet refuses to pull her punches. By taking its vows alongside The First Omen, Immaculate, and Suspiria, The Rotting Room ascends to horror literature heaven." -Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist's House and Mean Spirited

 

"Dreadfully atmospheric and alluringly oppressive, The Rotting Room is a testament to the heart of religious horror, Viggy Parr Hampton's writing irresistibly smooth like gothic butter." -Mona Kabbani, author of The Color of Blood
