Hunting Mara: A Host[age] Novel

Have you ever encountered someone with a psyche so incredibly fragile, so broken that you witness them leaping from fantasy to reality like a game of hop-scotch? Have you ever heard a story so far-fetched that you struggled between what you believed and what you wanted to believe? What if it's true, all of it: every cover up, every dark, twisted, gut-wrenching turn. Could it be that Mara Blake is not as far gone as she may seem? Is it possible that after hearing the tale, you could potentially believe someone that was thought to be lost forever? Maybe it's true, but say it's not. Say, for example, that Mara is the monster displayed before you; that she is the disassociated girl who has orchestrated a life so murderously elaborate. On one hand, there are brilliant storytellers, thriving off of the thirst we foster for something other than the truth. On the other hand, there are those who tell the truth, simply because that's what they do best. Rarely, however, can someone harbor both talents. Perhaps Mara is the rarity, telling the truth to free herself from the chains forced upon her for years, only to be imprisoned by a lie more strongly rooted than the truth. Through a testimony upon apprehension, Mara confesses each and every detail in the hope of swaying the public to her truth. It's up to you, dear reader. Can you trust the monster?
