Room 217

Room 217
She waited inside the mirror. Now she wants out.

When down-on-his-luck journalist Daniel Carter arrives in the fog-bound town of Garrison Falls, he only wants silence and escape. What he finds instead is The Dorian Hotel-a decaying cliffside relic with one room still occupied by something that should not exist.

Room 217.

It starts with whispers in the glass. Shadows that don't belong. A mirror that remembers more than it should. But Daniel soon uncovers a forgotten tragedy buried in the hotel's wartime past: the story of Eliza Harrow, a wartime nurse who vanished without a trace... and may still be waiting for someone who never returned.

Then there's Caleb, the eager young podcaster who breaks in hoping for a haunted scoop-and never comes back out. There's James Henry, the aging soldier who once made a promise and fled. And there's the girl no one talks about:

Clara Wiles.
Twelve years old when she vanished in 1951.
The first to disappear.
The last to leave.
If she ever does.

As Daniel peels back the layers of Garrison Falls, he discovers that Room 217 is not just haunted-it's hungry. It feeds on memories, guilt, and curiosity. Every mirror is a door. Every glance is an invitation. And something ancient and childlike-and utterly inhuman-is watching from the other side.

Not all ghosts want peace. Some want out. And some never left at all.

Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, The Silent Patient, and Stephen King's The Shining, Room 217 blends psychological horror with a chilling mystery that unfolds like a fever dream. Told in vivid prose with immersive atmosphere and terrifying twists, this book will keep you turning pages deep into the night-and checking your own mirror before you turn off the light.

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
If you believe stories can still unsettle, if you love haunted places and layered secrets, and if you've ever paused too long in front of a mirror-you're exactly where you need to be.
