About this ebook

If you're very lucky. . .

The ramshackle B&B in western Massachusetts isn't just an inheritance--it seems like the best chance for Jack and Annabel Devlin to save their marriage and start over. But Annabel's first impressions of the remote inn don't ease her nerves. In fact, everything about the gloomy Victorian draws Annabel back into childhood nightmares. . .

They might let you leave. . .

Locals whisper about the Blue Boy Inn and its long history of murders and mysterious disappearances. Soon Annabel hears noises within the walls and glimpses something--some things--scurrying in the shadows. The locked attic, the bricked-up fireplace. . .for years they've helped keep a ravenous evil at bay. Now Jack and Annabel's arrival has stirred the house to life again. Debts must be paid, hungers will be satisfied, and one by one, Annabel's worst fears are about to come true. . .

"The Conjuring meets The Shining in William Patterson's deliciously creepy thriller, The Inn.  Fast-paced, horror-filled, clever and impossible-to-predict, this heart-pounding tale will leave you breathless." --Kevin O'Brien, New York Times bestselling author

Author

William Patterson

William Patterson lives in Boston and Los Angeles and several points in between. A connoisseur of horror films, he especially loves the great made-for-television movies of the 1970s, where the devil always seemed to be lurking around the corner of a college dormitory or a suburban mansion.

    I really enjoyed this one. Loved the setting and plot. And just when you are like that person can't die. Well... ! It's creepy, thriller and suspenseful. Definitely a great read!

    This wasn't the worst book I ever read but it wasn't really good either. There were way too many redundancies and the ending dragged and dragged until I was left hoping every character in the book would just die so I could be done with the book already. The writing style and word usage seemed very amateur. The characters were underdeveloped and very cardboard like. I loved the idea of a haunted inn but there were no ghost just little blue demons that I just could not find scary. The house was supposed to be the villain in the story but it never felt alive or evil. The blue creatures took away from that. This was just a disappointing read that did not live up to it's potential.
