"I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I loved it. And I thought it was even better than
The Nightmare Room."
- Library Macabre


At the outskirts of Maple City sits the Crossroads Motel, a throwback to the days when the motor lodge was king. Two years ago, the motel was the site of an act so brutal that its buildings were left to rot.

Jessie Voss, however, sees promise in the Crossroad's bare bones and buys it up, determined to breathe new life into the place.

When the Larson family shows up on her doorstep, road-weary and desperate for a break, Jessie offers them lodging, even though her grand opening is still a week away.

But the arrival of guests awakens the motel, and Jessie soon finds herself host to both the living and the dead.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT BOOK 1: THE NIGHTMARE ROOM...

"Sorensen has a knack for cliffhangers that make you want to start reading the next chapter immediately."
- Frank Errington, Cemetery Dance Online

"...a perfectly paced, well-plotted, and compelling haunted house tale filled with oppressive atmosphere, sympathetic and detailed characters, and only a touch of gore."
- Becky Spratford, Library Journal

"Chilling and forceful, Sorensen's story of family, emotional pain, and suspense will maintain listeners' rapt attention."
- AudioFile Magazine

"...a really well written haunted house story that's easy to follow and scary enough to leave the light on or read during the day. I loved it! This is a must have for your horror collection!"
- Mother Horror

"The Nightmare Room is one of the best debuts I've ever read. It's one of the best haunted house stories I've ever experienced."
