The Deadlight Motel

A motel that appears only to the guilty. A night that stretches into forever. A truth you can't outrun. Ruby Haines has spent six years running from the photograph that made her name - and the man who died so she could take it. When she sees a neon sign blazing in the endless Nevada desert, she pulls off the road, desperate for rest. But the Deadlight Motel isn't on any map. Inside its shifting hallways and impossible rooms, Ruby finds a world built from guilt, memory, and the truths she has buried. Doors lead to different realities. Mirrors hold versions of herself she never became. A cheerful clerk named Maggie never seems to blink quite right. And every guest is trapped reliving the one moment they most want to forget. Ruby soon discovers: The motel doesn't just house the lost - it feeds on them. To escape, she must confront the night she watched a man die through her camera lens... and face the part of herself she has spent a lifetime avoiding. But the motel is changing - and Ruby's transformation may be changing it. The only way out is through, and the only way through is a choice that will cost her everything. Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally devastating, The Deadlight Motel is a supernatural horror novel about guilt, identity, second chances, and the monstrous places we build inside ourselves. Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Paul Tremblay, and Silent Hill.
