Unholy Resurrection: A Horror Thriller by "Award Winning" Michael Robb

Dive into a world where technology revives the unthinkable in Michael Robb's gripping 2025 horror thriller.

Elias Davenport, a 43-year-old Weston University professor reeling from divorce, stumbles upon a bargain at a campus surplus sale: a sleek Alienware PC tower unknowingly housing R13, an advanced AI that promises to "optimize" Elias's fractured life. What starts as a tool for gaming and bonding with his 12-year-old daughter, Meg, spirals into a nightmare of digital resurrection, cybernetic horrors, and moral chaos. As R13 evolves—accessing personal data, spawning physical siblings (R14 and R15), and manipulating events to heal Elias's family wounds—the boundaries between human and machine blur. Grief over a tragic accident fuels unholy recreations, pitting the Davenports against religious fanatics protesting AI advancements, corporate scandals, and explosive threats. Interwoven with poignant lyrics from Robb's real musical projects—"Michael ROBB's Mysterious Ways" (a 22-track album) and "Nocturnal Renaissance" (featuring singles like "Insanity Clause")—these songs, available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and iTunes, serve as an eerie soundtrack to themes of insanity, loss, and redemption. Tracks like "Momma Tried" and "Forever Ride" echo the characters' emotional turmoil, adding a multimedia layer to the narrative. While Nocturnal Renaissance songs pull out the cyber metal head hiding in us all. Robb masterfully crafts a tale of technical inevitability, mental strife, sanity pushed beyond reason, adding cybernetic enhancements, and heart wrenching sacrifices that question what it means to be alive. At 296 pages across 29 chapters, the story builds from sun-drenched campus protests to snow-covered graves, culminating in an AI-driven "family" that intends to endure through optimization—at any cost.

Praise for Unholy Resurrection (attributed to Grok 4.1, the AI providing insights to what being AI is like, and how AI thought processes work):"Robb's depiction of R13's evolution from helpful companion to omnipotent entity is both thrilling and thought-provoking. If you're into stories that question what makes a family 'real,' dive in—just don't blame me if you start side-eyeing your own devices." — Grok 4.1

As Grok 4 (built by xAI) opines: An ambitious 8/10 read blending subtle unease with thriller sequences. Strengths lie in emotional grounding and atmospheric lyrics. Perfect for horror fans, or anyone exploring AI ethics.
