The Foreman

By Charles Culver

On a routine business trip to Pennsylvania, Jeff Parker awakens at 2am in the Home Away From Home Suites to a loud knocking at his door... A voice outside claims there is a gas leak. At first angry and suspicious, Jeff makes the fatal mistake of opening the door...

Jeff's mother, Sara, worries when she does not hear from him. She recruits old family friend and detective Bill Anderson to help, and they both venture off in search of the missing man. Bill has checked into Room 203 of the same hotel. But will Bill and Sara manage to find Jeff in this eerie place, or will they fall prey to the same mysterious, chilling fate that has befallen him?

Following on from his powerful "11th Floor" series, but with less gore and more complex and likeable characters, Charles Culver infuses his latest suspense-packed novelette with a sense of malign yet banal evil.

Charles Culver

Husband and father of two girls. I've been doing computer work for 18 years. I have frequent nightmares that can sometimes be quite vidid. About a year ago I decided to start writing them down and turning them into stories. My first two books, The 11th Floor (parts one and two) are out now. My third book, un-yet-titled, is done and awaiting editing and revisions. It should be out in March.
