About this listen

It’s New Year’s Eve 1910, and the Merlstead Heights Hotel is having its opening night! A night that will be remembered for the sinister incidents which trigger a far-reaching chain of events in motion. Throughout the 1920s, a devil in pinstripes takes charge with an evil to trump the darkness of the hotel. Along with his dastardly presence, he brings along a coveted motorcar–the Bentley Speed Six, that bleeds evil into the hotel from its tomb in the old coach house, and has many times been forced to slumber.

But slumber never lasts when one is always half-awake.

Now a new young couple is in town and falling for the charms of the ruined old hotel. Greater than the task of the restoration work is the unpicking of the hotel's infamous past as the young couple descend into a nightmare of fear, confusion and loss. What begins as a great adventure soon becomes tainted by the bouts of memory loss, disturbing photographs, and an unnerving game of hangman that appears upon the stairwell wall. Woven throughout the story is the history of the previous proprietors time in the hotel, cut short by a rope and a nasty encounter with the cursed Bentley.

The title says it all, however predictable isn't bad but in this case, it was.

After trying with all my will I couldn't finish, might be just me but I feel this story would have more made sense and been more enjoyable, with nice easter eggs as it were, if it proceeded in chronological order rather than trying to shoehorn three overlapping times into one narrative.

Nice idea but needed a format change

DNF - Too slow and predictable
