Stirring the Sheets

An elderly funeral home worker, struggling with the loss of his wife, finds an unnatural attraction to a corpse at work resembling his late bride in her younger years.A story of desperation, loneliness, and letting go. Praise for Stirring the Sheets: A haunting tale of a man come undone by grief. Lutzke has a keen grasp of the dark psychological elements of bereavement. OR 'Six Feet Under' without the magical realism, 'Stirring the Sheets' is a mesmerizing and believable tale of lost love and a broken protagonist.~Duncan Ralston, author of WOOM and the GHOSTLAND series Heartbreaking, somber, and damn tense when Lutzke unleashes his dark side. Stirring the Sheets will affect me for many years.            ~Dan Padavona, author of the WOLF LAKE THRILLER series STIRRING THE SHEETS is a bittersweet meditation on grief, loss, and mortality. Chad Lutzke's prose sings in this somber tale.            ~Todd Keisling, author of DEVIL'S CREEK This is a surprisingly sweet story with sadness and fine little details that let you know Lutzke wants us to relate to the characters…Even those who don't do horror will like this one.~author, Linsey Knerl Stirring the Sheets is a disturbing tale of loss that both tugs at your heartstrings and turns your stomach.~Zach Bohannon, bestselling author and co-owner of Molten Universe Media  Mourning can be a long, dark road, one that forces people to face death's greedy hands and the finality left in its wake. Lutzke writes of the insurmountable grief as if it's an old acquaintance, drawing the audience into a story they can't put down. Heart wrenching and touching.~ The Sisters of Slaughter, Bram Stoker Award nominated authors of MAYAN BLUE & THOSE WHO FOLLOW This blew me completely and utterly away…contains the entire spectral range of emotions. I guarantee you will feel them all.~Nev Murray, Confessions of a Reviewer Heart-wrenching and powerful. Be warned: this emotional story will stay with you long after you've finished it.            ~ Armand Rosamilia, author of the DIRTY DEEDS crime thriller series …a short, but extremely effective, character portrait of loss, loneliness, and despair.  I'm again surprised at Lutzke's ability to draw a character so distinctly with so few pages to work with.            ~The Horror Drive-In My highest recommendation to any fan of dark fiction.~Char's Horror Corner
