Sundown Hotel

Author's name: Simon St. James

"Deliciously scary. A terrifying mix of mystery and ghost stories will delight fans of both genres."
— Riley Sager

In the quiet town of Vail, the Sundown Hotel stands guard over secrets no one has left to tell. In 1982, dreamy Viv Delaney arrives to work as a night receptionist, saving money for her trip to New York. But she soon discovers that the night here holds more than silence: whispers, doors opening on their own, and watchful shadows. Before she disappears forever, Viv begins to unravel a thread leading to a series of mysterious murders in the town.
Thirty-five years later, Carly Kirk, Viv's niece whom she never met, returns to the same hotel, driven by an obsession with uncovering the truth. She moves into town, stays in the same room, and works the same shift. She discovers that time has stopped at Sundown: the same voices, the same shadows, the same fear creeping from the dark corners. She has entered the same cycle that swallowed her aunt.
The novel skillfully weaves together two timelines, as Carly follows Viv's footsteps through the corridors of the past, confronting a terrifying truth: the killer may still be here, and the hotel itself may be an undying witness. Can Carly break the curse before she becomes the next victim?
"A novel rarely leaves me feeling genuinely scared... but Sundown Hotel did just that, with its twists and turns that combine suspense and horror."
— Bob Sugar
"A truly nightmarish journey through time and into the supernatural world... guaranteed to grip the reader until the end... What a story!"
