Some hotel rooms promise rest. Room 17 offers something far more chilling.
Eight years after losing her husband and son, Stella checks into the same room where they spent their final night. She’s not chasing closure—she’s chasing contact. But grief doesn’t play fair, and neither do the dead.
As night falls, Stella’s memories twist into fever dreams. Shadows crawl where light should live. The line between what’s real and what waits on the other side blurs, and something—or someone—is desperate to break through. She came seeking solace. What she gets is a message steeped in dread.
From USA Today bestselling author Catriona Ward comes a standalone horror short steeped in grief, guilt, and ghostly echoes. One night. One room. No escape.
