Check it out (but you can never leave)I am a bad, bad person; I meant to review this as soon as I read it, but I was too scared and ran away and hid in the cupboard. What can I say about this anthology; well apart from it being scary, it is extremely well written (there isn't a dud story in here), and each story gives a new spin on the traditional haunted hotel trope. I hope the authors will be return guests to the Hyde Hotel, because I'd love to read more.
An anthology of short stories all set at the Hyde Hotel. A hotel that attracts guests at their worst point in their lives, be it a guest who is fleeing domestic violence to a hitman on another job. Each guest has their own story to tell and they all have different experiences when they stay at the Hyde Hotel.I enjoyed every story, and each one had something different to offer. If you are a lover of Horror, Paranormal, mystery, suspense then you will find a story to read. My favourites were Wrath...
Great collection of short storiesA collection of short stories with visitors taking up rooms at the 'Hyde Hotel'. There are wonderful gems of macabre to dread and foreboding. I would recommend this anthology, the horror tropes are there and used well.
Rather enjoyed this anthology. I thought the way the hotel was slightly different in each story contributed to the feeling of unease and the variety of stories was good..Favourites were Lost and Found by S P Miskowski, The Coyote Corporation's Misplaced Song by Cate Gardner, Wrath of the Deep by Simon Bestwick and The Blue Room by V H Leslie.
Creepy things hide at the HydeI enjoyed this idea very much, the introduction was intriguing as were the stories. My favorites were Lost and Found, Housekeeping and The Coyote Corporation's Misplaced Song.

This is a collection of stories by various authors about visitors to a hotel called The Hyde Hotel. In each story the hotel is different, so this isn't the same hotel, or is it? I think that probably the idea behind this collection of tales was that this is a mysterious hotel and it seems that each visitor experiences something different depending on their state of mind and the reason they visited the hotel. I enjoyed the stories. There was only one that I couldn't get into, and I ended up havin...
A honestly haunting book that will stick to you like a tacky sheen on human hide.You won’t ever stop trying to open the filthy window to see the blue sea outside, I say. Perhaps you can at least use its glass as a mirror? The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.
A collection of stories all set in the mysterious Hyde Hotel. When rating a collection of short stories, especially when written by different authors, I rate each story and massage the average based on how I feel about the collection as a whole. In this case I was evenly divided between 4-star stories and 2-star stories. For me the most successful were the stories that really embraced the creepiness of the hotel itself. My favorite by far (garnering my only 5 star rating) was S. P. Miskowski's "...
