The Holloway Inn is a quiet place, but not in the peaceful sense. Its walls have witnessed generations of guests-each one more forgettable than the last. No one ever stays long enough to make an impression, and no one ever truly leaves. Miss Stanton arrives on a stormy evening, seeking nothing more than a quiet refuge from the world. But the inn's unsettling stillness, its subtle shifts and strange happenings, quickly reveal that the place is no ordinary hotel. The owner, a cold and enigmatic figure, watches her closely, as if waiting for something. And he's not the only one. Other guests linger in the background: a businessman with a secret, a writer who's lost touch with reality, a couple who can't remember how they arrived. Each one carries their own mysteries, their own personal burdens-and, like Miss Stanton, they are all trapped by the inn's sinister force. The rooms hold more than just furniture; they hold pieces of broken lives, pieces of people who have vanished without a trace, only to become part of the inn's dark history. As Miss Stanton delves deeper into the inn's secrets, she uncovers the terrifying truth: the Holloway Inn doesn't just steal lives-it absorbs them, turning its guests into permanent fixtures within its haunted walls. And as time warps and blends, she realizes that her fate is already sealed. She's not the first to try to escape, and she won't be the last.

"Oh, go on..." it growled, its twisted smile growing wider. "What is it you mortals say? Oh, yes... I dare you..." * * * When Lewis, the strange, new kid arrives at Fading Hope School, Max and Kris can't wait to invite him to join the Dare Doer's Club. They dare him to spend a night in Dreadgrave Manor, a haunted house once home to the infamous Count Montgomery Dreadgrave and rumoured to have been the location of a bloody massacre almost a century before. But then Lewis goes missing in the manor, and Max and Kris are forced to venture inside. How is Dreadgrave Manor linked to the town's dark history of children disappearing in Fading Hope? What terrifying secrets lie within its cursed walls? Worst of all, as night falls, why won't the dead stay dead? Soon, they'll realise it's a race against time to save not only Lewis but themselves as well. Can they break the curse of Dreadgrave Manor and survive until the morning? Or will they be trapped... forever?
