About this listen

Do you dare pick up The Hotel, the stunning thriller readers are calling ‘fast paced’, ‘creepy’ and ‘gripping the whole way through’?

Four of them went to the hotel

Four students travel to Ravencliffe, an eerie abandoned hotel perched on steep cliffs on the Welsh coast. After a series of unexplained accidents, only three of them leave. The fourth, Leo, disappears, and is never seen again.

Only three of them came back

A decade on, the friends have lost contact. Oscar is fame-hungry, making public appearances and selling his story. Richard sank into alcoholism and is only just recovering. Bex just wants to forget – until one last opportunity to go back offers the chance to find out what really happened to Leo.

Ten years later, they return one last time

But as soon as they get to the hotel things start going wrong again. Objects mysteriously disappear and reappear. Accidents happen. And Bex realises that her former friends know far more than they are letting on about the true events at Ravencliffe that night…

In this social media era. What a better setting than a haunted hotel “ Ravencliffe” to start a student film based on the gothic tale of the owner who took his own life on the premise, and his wife, “allegedly “ mad who ended up a Nun.

Bad luck and superstition rule Ravencliffe as four friends Rebecca ( Bex ) her boyfriend Richard, his friend Oscar and Bex’s friend, Leo, set off in a hired boat to explore, and find out Ravencliffe’s secrets.

All while naming their student film.

However, only three return .

One of the three bad maimed.

Years later their little student film had gone “viral “

The three survivors have become darlings among the YouTube set .

So, when a production company wants to get the remaining survivors together for ten years reunion, what could possibly go wrong.?

When you poke around in spooky old property with people with secrets to keep.

You’d better watch your back.

Not a bad creepy suspenseful story

A Reasonable Gothic Tale With Just Enough Suspense
