Deadfall Hotel by Steve Rasnic Tem ISBN 13: 9781907992834

The Deadfall Hotel is where our nightmares go, itâÈçs where the dead pause to rest between worlds, and itâÈçs where Richard Carter and his daughter Serena go to rediscover life âÈ' if the things at the hotel donâÈçt kill them first. Think of it as the vacation resort of the collective unconscious. With the powerful prose that has earned him awards and accolades, Steve Rasnic Tem explores the roots of fear and societyâÈçs fascination with things horrific, using the many-layered metaphor of the Deadfall Hotel. Drawing inspiration from literary touchstones John Gardner and Peter Straub, Tem elegantly delves into the dark corners of the human spirit. There he finds not only our fears, but ultimately our hopes.
