Evil is closer than you think—because it’s already inside you.
You should be celebrating the happiest night of your life. But as churches burn, suicides spread like wildfire, and brutal murders shatter your town, your engagement quickly descends into hell on earth.
When your beloved fiancée becomes possessed by Satan, you’re forced to make unthinkable choices. But the true nightmare begins when the Devil claims you as his own. Can you resist his pull—or will you embrace the darkness within?
In this first solo Try Not to Die novel from series creator Mark Tullius, every decision leads you deeper into madness, terror, and bloodshed. With over a dozen ways to die, only one path keeps you alive long enough to face the ultimate evil.
Try Not to With Satan Inside is an Extreme Horror Edition, crafted for adult readers who crave disturbing, graphic, and psychologically brutal horror. ⚠️ This book contains intense themes, graphic violence, and disturbing content. Read only if you dare.
My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create, with two dozen or so titles under my belt. There are 18 titles in my YA interactive Try Not to Die series and 24 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering the hell out of my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms.
