Publisher's Synopsis
There it stood beside the pebbled shore, a massive old Victorian hotel out on the edge of Birchiam-on-Sea. And it was late October when author Alex Morland took a room ... the place was way off-season and extremely quiet. But that was fine by him, since he was hoping to complete his latest novel.As the weeks slipped by, though, he began to realize he was not quite so alone as it had first appeared. There were brief but strange encounters in the gardens and the hotel bar. There were sounds of running in the corridors at night, and then loud screams.And then there were the dreams he kept on having about The Grange's night manager, Mr. Jakes, all leading him toward the hotel's dark and deadly secret."A terrific story teller" - Graham Joyce."A master of the art" - Black Static magazine."A hell of a writer, one of today's masters of dark fiction" - Horror World."Richards has immediately established himself as a favorite in my mind" - Matt Molgaard, Horror Novel Reviews.
