SIX DAYS
Jenny Schultz wakes trapped in a pitch-black basement with no recollection of how she got there. With no outside stimuli, Jenny naturally turns inward and revisits her guilt-ridden past, desperate to figure out which wronged person would be angry enough, evil enough, to do this to her.
She must survive her own demons, and then time itself when she finds remnants of previous captives—a plate, a tooth, a bone. Scratched hashmarks in the stone walls around her, leave her to wonder what happens next.
What happens after six days?
Praise for SIX DAYS
“This is one HELL of macabre, psychological mystery. Owen has a terrifying talent for pushing the reader’s buttons, one right after another, until you’re trapped in the same lightless, inescapable cloak of HORROR as the main character. One of the most suspenseful books I’ve read in long time, and a stellar debut.”
~ Edward Lee, author of HOUSE INFERNAL, BRIDES OF THE IMPALER and more…
“Kelli Owen has pulled off a kind of dark magic with this book and done so with an assurance rarely seen in a first novel. She’s made us care deeply about a flawed character completely alone in the dark, a scary one-character play peopled with everyone she’s close to…which is no mean feat for any magician. And the ending packs a hell of a wallop.”
~ Jack Ketchum, author of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, OFF SEASON, THE WOMAN and more…

“…serves to create a claustrophobic cocktail of unease and uncertainty. In today’s world of omnipotent narrators and worn out horror clichés, it’s refreshing in a very Chianti and fava beans sort of way. Owen has set the bar very high with her debut novel, a bar I have no doubt she will be able to surpass. Her blend of human observations, horror sensibilities, and gifted prose portend great things for her in the future.”
~ The Word Zombie
“Six Days would appeal…to fans of books like Gone Girl and Before I Go to Sleep. Six Days is a book you may not have heard of but is worth your time.”
