THE HOTEL SERIES
by Jennifer Anne Gordon
Genre: Psychological Suspense, Gothic Horror
From
Daylight to Madness
The
Hotel, #1
The
latest book from the critically acclaimed author of Beautiful,
Frightening, and Silent; Jennifer Anne Gordon.
On
an almost uninhabitable rocky island off the coast of Maine, a Hotel
looms over the shore, an ever-present gray lady that stands strong
like a guard, keeping watch. For many who come here, this island is a
sanctuary and a betrayal.
This
is a place where memories linger like ghosts, and the ephemeral
nature of time begins to peel away …like the sanity of all who have
been unlucky enough to step foot on its shore.
In
the late spring of 1873, Isabelle gave birth to her son Oscar, he
cried for three startling minutes, and then went silent. During the
months that follow, Isabelle is drugged and lulled into an almost
hallucinatory world of grief and fear. Her life begins to feel as
though it exists in a terrifying new reality separated from those
around her …
When
her grieving begins to make her husband, Henry, uncomfortable, he and
his mother conspire to send Isabelle away to a Summer Hotel on Dagger
Island, where she can rest and heal. While they are adamant that the
hotel is not an asylum and that Isabelle will be able to return
eventually to her home, Isabelle understands in her heart that it is
all a lie. That perhaps, everything about being a woman in this time,
may have always been a lie.
Her
family has lied to her, and she has lied to herself.
The
Hotel, of course, is not what it seems, and the foreboding Dagger
Island begins to feel more like a prison than a retreat. Isabelle
hears relentless sounds coming from the attic above her room, and the
ever-present cries of small children scream in her head almost
constantly. Are they hallucinations, or are they connected to the
small cemetery she found, filled with the fresh dirt of little
graves, the brokenhearted reminders of people that no one believes
ever existed?
She
meets a fellow guest at the Hotel, a young, enigmatic, and deeply
damaged priest, named Francis.
Together
they teeter on the edges of reality and try desperately to become
free from the fates that their pasts have bound them to.
From
Daylight to Madness is a poetic, and haunting Gothic Fiction novel
that is both profoundly unsettling and darkly romantic.

The
Hotel, #2
Critically
acclaimed Author Jennifer Anne Gordon's conclusion to The Hotel
Series, with the sequel to From Daylight to Madness.
In
one startling moment in the late summer of 1873 a tragedy fell like
summer sun on the gray jagged shores of Dagger Island. Francis loses
everything he thought his life was, and what it could have become.
His heart breaks and his feet run, all the way back to his childhood
home, he reaches for a past that may not exist.
He
is there, in the little house in Dorchester Neck. A place haunted
with missing time. He feels the comfort from walls that lean in too
close, but then …He feels the trauma that ripped his life in two
and in a blink of an eye he is back at the hotel. He can feel the
memories fade as the cold fingers of winter wrap around him. He does
not know how he got there, or indeed if he ever left.
Francis
has lived his whole life veiled in the memories that are more alive
than his present. The current days fade away before he can hold on to
him. Everything he was or thought he could have been is gone. He
realizes he may be a monster, and the person he has fallen in love
with may not even exist. Francis holds onto the memories he thinks
are real …until he is almost consumed by them.
Francis
is isolated in a world of mesmerism, with his tormentor and healer
Doctor Hughes.
Francis
is a guest in this hotel with his past, his present, and who he
believes to be his future. Isabelle. His world is a labyrinth … he
feels her hand in his. The fingers intertwine and there is nothing
left but her …
She
is a memory, a ghost, and a hallucination.
He
can almost remember the moment when his father’s glass shattered
into his face…he can almost remember who he was before he was
broken in two.
He
can almost remember…
He
can almost…
He
can…
He…
