In 71 Hyacinth Drive, Matt Burke-a writer living alone in his remote house deep in the Maine woods-is driving home one day when he accidentally hits a homeless man on the side of the road. To cover up what happened, he takes his body and brings it back to his house. One night, when he goes to move it, the body’s gone. Just as he realizes, footsteps come from upstairs. He’s not alone. In The Missing, something strange has been happening inside Haven, Maine-the small, rural, sleepy town known for the 'best apple pie' in the state. Slowly, since February, missing posters have popped up in the town: on telephone posts, the town bulletin board, and the front window of Al’s Diner. One of the many people concerned is Violet, someone who has lived in the town ever since she was a little girl. She’s determined to get to the bottom of what’s happening, no matter what happens to her. In 217, hack horror writer, Stephen Greene-the author of books like scariest ghosts spotted in haunted hotels and ten most haunted graveyards-goes to the Fairhope Hotel, intrigued by the hidden history of the 100-year-old hotel. As the almost empty hotel greets him, two days from closing down for the winter, Stephen-soon after settling in-is going to experience what true terror is. Find these and ten more stories inside that are sure to make your skin crawl.
