Thomas weaves a wonderfully horrifying backstory for the titular domicile and then populates the promotional sleepover with a varied and interesting group of characters. Just as Thomas Olde Huevelt updated traditional ghost stories last year with Hex, first time novelist Scott Thomas brings the haunted house tale into the 21st Century with Kill Creek. As each of their lives spins wildly out of control it soon becomes clear that the only way to put an end to the madness and regain their lives is to do the one thing none of them wants to do: return to Kill Creek. But when morning comes, and they all go their separate ways, one thing becomes clear: Kill Creek is not yet done with them. To say that none of the participants are unprepared for the events that transpire in those 24 hours would be the very definition of an understatement. They also have their reasons for wanting to participate. All of the writers have reasons to be wary. Their time at the house, known as Kill Creek, will be broadcast live over the internet and also recorded so that those unable to watch live will be able to view it later. Four prominent Horror authors, all as different as the books they write and the readers who read them, are asked by an eccentric internet personality to spend Halloween night in one of the country’s most infamous haunted houses.
