But some guests never truly left.
When sisters Beth and Annie Hayes accompany Beth's boyfriend Steve to the abandoned hotel, they're expecting an adventure. Steve claims he wants to explore the place where he spent his childhood holidays, but he has secrets of his own. And as the sisters venture deeper into the decaying building, they begin to realise that something is terribly wrong.
Because Lakeforth Hotel is haunted.
Almost a century earlier, a ruthless hotel owner built his empire on cruelty, murder and the suffering of an innocent family. Now the ghosts of the past still wander the deserted corridors, and somewhere in the darkness, the spirit of a murdered little girl is searching for her lost sister. She has been searching for a very long time... and her anger is growing.
As the hotel's horrifying secrets begin to emerge, Beth and Annie find themselves trapped in a nightmare where the living can be just as dangerous as the dead. Escape seems impossible, and the restless spirits of Lakeforth have no intention of allowing the past to remain buried.
The Ghosts of Lakeforth Hotel is a chilling, full-length supernatural horror novel spanning more than a century of murder, betrayal and revenge. Combining a sinister abandoned hotel, vengeful ghosts, disturbing family secrets and an atmosphere of mounting dread, this terrifying ghost story is perfect for readers who love haunted house horror, gothic mysteries and dark psychological suspense.
