YOU CAN CHECK OUT. BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE…
Inspired by true events.
On a remote island off the coast, an old Victorian mansion overlooks a stunning vista of choppy seas and jagged rocks. Known as the Hotel California, it has stood for over a century, welcoming guests to its beautiful grounds and twisting corridors. But when a jaded and cynical film crew arrives to shoot a horror film inside the hotel things begin to change . . .
A supernatural presence lurks within the walls of the towering mansion. Spirits have lived in harmony with the innkeeper and her family, undisturbed for decades. At first this presence is benevolent, even helpful—
But as the filmmakers stage violent scenes of horror and brutality, deadly accidents plague the crew and they are cut off from all contact with the outside world. Soon, they must face a terrifying new reality; their darkest fears and impulses have corrupted the spirits of the ancient building, twisting them into something . . . dangerous.
At first the hotel wanted them to leave. Now it wants them to stay.
Forever . . .
"Breathless and dramatic conclusion...events unfold with gathering acceleration and increasing intensity." - Screencraft
Fans of The Shining and Amityville Horror will love this "creepy and ominous" horror. (Screencraft)
Bestselling author Dani Lamia has accepted the curse of a warped and deviant mind that bends reality, rending the fabric between the real and the unreal. Perhaps a form of schizophrenia, Dani prefers to think of it as wonderful inspiration for some deeply creepy but strangely intellectual horror stories that are pulled from those nightmarish visions.
A student of the great horror writers (and filmmakers), Dani has turned a passion for twisted tales that unlock deep truths about humanity into a career focused on scaring the pants off readers.
Dani began feeding that imagination with Wuthering Heights and Poe and moved on quickly to Dean Koontz and Stephen King. With similarities to Showtime's Penny Dreadful and the Twilight Zone, Dani's writing exploded into the kinds of twists and turns that challenge and thrill everyone lucky enough - and brave enough - to devour Dani's writing as it "speeds to the exciting conclusion."
