Twelve Nights at Rotter House
Author: J.W. Ocker
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 1684423708
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he’s carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country’s most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for 13 nights, he believes he’s finally found the location that will bring him a bestseller. As with his other gigs, he sets rules for himself: no leaving the house for any reason, refrain from outside contact, and sleep during the day. When Thomas Ruth, Felix's oldest friend and fellow horror film obsessive, joins him on the project, the two dance around a recent and unspeakably painful rough-patch in their friendship, but eventually fall into their old rhythms of dark humor and movie trivia. That’s when things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement. Felix realizes the book he’s writing, and his very state of mind, is tilting from nonfiction into all out horror, and the shocking climax answers a question that’s been staring these men in the face all along: In Rotter House, who’s haunting who?

The Christmas Dare

Pages : 101
Book Description
Getting dumped at Christmas wasn’t in Holly Winter’s holiday plans—neither was sharing a cabin with her off-limits best friend, Finn Parker. When Holly’s boyfriend breaks up with her via text four days before Christmas, she does what any self-respecting rom-com enthusiast would do: retreats to her favorite mountain town to binge Hallmark movies and wallow in holiday misery. The only problem? Her best friend Finn Parker—who just got dumped by his girlfriend—had the same idea. Now they're stuck sharing a cabin with a broken heater, twenty years of complicated history, and enough sexual tension to melt a snowman. It doesn't help that their favorite childhood game of Truth or Dare quickly turns from innocent to something decidedly more adult. Between hilariously disastrous attempts at writing each other's dating profiles, game-changing truths, and one freezing night where skin-to-skin contact becomes their only defense against the cold…and their self-control— Holly's starting to wonder if the only thing worse than being dumped at Christmas is risking her heart on someone whose mixed signals are as mysterious as his year-long absence from her life. But with secrets threatening to unravel their carefully wrapped history, and every fight bringing them closer to either breaking apart or breaking through walls, Holly's discovering that sometimes the scariest part isn't the fall—it's the moment before you jump. A Christmas Dare is a steamy holiday rom-com about best friends, second chances, and what happens when truth or dare goes very, very wrong (or maybe exactly right). It's part of the Christmas Quickies series—spicy reads you can devour in one sitting. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Christina Lauren, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens after the Hallmark movie ends. Contains deliciously explicit content, steamy confessions, and enough Christmas spirit to power the North Pole.
