THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS
In 1999, Sanatorio Santa Rosa—a remote psychiatric hospital in Argentina—was sealed by federal order after unexplained deaths. Its records vanished. Decades later, Lucía Ríos, a digital archivist, uncovers a corrupted directory labeled "LÁZARO" while digitizing medical files.
When she opens it, she triggers a chain of horrors: nightmarish visions of the asylum, impossible phone calls breathing static and agony, and a series of deaths mirroring Santa Rosa's darkest moments.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"I couldn't sleep for days after reading this. The atmosphere is suffocating, and the digital horror elements are brilliantly executed. A masterpiece of modern psychological horror."— Sarah M., Horror Enthusiast
"The Lazarus Archive takes digital horror to a new level. Every page drips with dread, and the Argentine setting adds an authentic layer of terror I've never experienced before."— Marcus R., Book Reviewer
"This isn't just a horror novel—it's an experience. The way technology becomes a conduit for ancient evils is both terrifying and believable. Can't wait for Part 2."— Elena V., Paranormal Fiction Fan

Chapter 1: The Forgotten Drive - Dust and Data
"The air in Sublevel B-7 of the National Digital Archives was the kind of thick, stale silence that pressed against the eardrums. It wasn't just an absence of sound; it was the accumulated weight of decades of bureaucratic neglect, trapped beneath layers of concrete and fluorescent lighting that hummed with a low, persistent whine."
"Lucía ran a hand through her dark hair, already escaping its practical ponytail, and adjusted her glasses. The sterile chill of the climate-controlled archive warred with a trickle of sweat down her spine. Ironía, she thought. Preserving the past required conditions utterly alien to the messy, humid reality of Buenos Aires outside."
"Then, she hit a snag. Tucked between a stack of requisition forms for bandages and a water-stained ledger detailing staff rotas, was a manila folder unmarked except for a handwritten date: Nov '99."
"Sanatorio Santa Rosa. The name meant nothing to Lucía. A quick search on her secondary terminal yielded almost nothing. A single, skeletal entry: 'Sanatorio Santa Rosa - Psychiatric Care Facility. Location: Near Alta Gracia, Córdoba. Closed: December 1999.'"
"She typed: SEARCH: SANATORIO SANTA ROSA. The cursor blinked for an agonizingly long moment. Then, a single line appeared:"
