Marcus Morus Syndrome

is a gripping blend of dark comedy, psychological fantasy, thriller, and speculative fiction that follows one man's quest for meaning in a world gone mad, taking readers on a mind-bending, psychedelic trip they won’t soon forget

When Lenny Cohen hails a night taxi, he never expects the ride to take him to the sixth circle of Hell. After he learns that a cosmic blunder led to his death in a car crash, Lenny finds himself caught in a bureaucratic fiasco, as the real victim was supposed to be his taxi driver.

Now, trapped in chaos, Lenny must adjust to his new reality, filled with bizarre incidents, eccentric characters, and surreal shifting dimensions. Desperate to escape, he issues an appeal to be brought back to life, but can he navigate the absurdities of his situation when all odds seem stacked against him? Could it be that Hell is not a place, but a state of mind?

Buckle up—it’s going to be one bumpy ride.

And so it begins...

   I was on my way to my girlfriend, Karen, busy with my trivial and insignificant matters at that moment on that wet night, immersed in my screen in the back seat, my whole fucking life ahead of me, when the Mercedes taxi entered the intersection. I didn't notice the world outside at all until I heard the horns and the screeches and the driver's scream and was blinded by the lights of the small refrigerated truck that sped toward us like a cruise missile from the depths of hell.
    Everything happened within seconds: the windshield shattered, and a piece of glass from the Mercedes lodged in my head.
   THE END.
   And when I say, "the end", I mean it. When I opened my eyes again, I suspected I was dead.
   I further suspected it wasn't the absolute end, that something just finished and something else was beginning. Something totally different.
