About this ebook
For Henry, a man who flushes success and love away at every turn, the Hotel Stephen Crane–shambling Gothic residence at the heart of an aging west-coast metropolis–means one last chance to get clean in the middle of a misspent life.
For a damaged, passionate, young artist like Bryn, it offers her first real try at independence. And happiness.
All the residents, and even the staff, seem to find in its walls an oasis to escape their private demons: alcohol, heroin, gambling, sex-addiction, and the darkness of self-doubt.
Yet, after death mysteriously takes one innocent resident, a curse seems to envelop the lives of the others.
A new threat emerges, testing the strength and will of each survivor. A threat more dangerous–more irresistible–than any drug...than any addiction. An ancient malevolence unlike anything Henry or Bryn have ever battled before.
