The old Victorian Hotel stood tall and imposing, a dark shadow against the moonlit sky. The once grand building was now decrepit and decaying, its windows shattered, its walls covered in graffiti. The air was thick with the scent of mold and decay, and the only sound was the scuttling of rats and the creaking of the old floorboards. A group of paranormal investigators had gathered outside the hotel, their faces grim and determined. They had heard rumors of a dark secret hidden within the walls of the hotel, a secret so terrifying that no one dared to speak of it. But the investigators were not afraid. They had faced many dangers in their line of work, and they were determined to uncover the truth. Dr. Jane Collins, the lead investigator, surveyed the dilapidated structure with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. Her team consisted of four other experienced paranormal researchers: Mike, the tech expert; Emily, the psychic medium; Jack, the historian; and Lisa, the camera operator. "Alright, team," Jane said, her voice hushed in the eerie stillness of the night. "We've all heard the stories about this place. The unexplained disappearances, the ghostly apparitions, the bone-chilling screams in the night. Our job is to separate fact from fiction and uncover the truth behind the dark secret of Room 13." Mike fiddled nervously with his EMF meter. "I've got a bad feeling about this one, Jane. The energy readings are off the charts, even from out here." Emily nodded, her eyes distant. "I can feel it too. There's... something in there. Something old. Something angry." Jack cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses. "According to my research, this hotel has a long and bloody history. It was built in 1873 by a man named Ezekiel Blackwood, a wealthy industrialist with a reputation for cruelty and occult practices. There were rumors of secret rituals performed in the hotel's basement, and guests reported strange noises and apparitions even when the hotel was in its prime."

"Genuinely unsettling and leaking of paranoid dread, The Dark Side of the Room is residential horror at its finest." - Max Booth III, author of We Need to Do Something "What struck me the hardest was the delicate beauty of the telling. There's a tight-wired fragility to the prose, to the story, that creates a sense of both awe and uncertainty. A grisly tale, an ever-so-slow twisting of a knife. A triumphant piece of fiction." - Philip Fracassi, author of Beneath a Pale Sky and Behold the Void "I devoured this one. Holy hell. Tyler brings so much heart to the story...A lucid read which creeps low to the ground until it springs on an unknowing you. Heart. Blood. Grief. All the good stuff. I've said it before and know I'll say it again: Tyler Jones is the real deal." - Scott J. Moses, author of Hunger Pangs "...a horrifying treat...made my skin crawl...some of the scenes made squirm and gag." - Villimey Mist, author of Nocturnal Blood and Nocturnal Farm "Ominous and profound...a dark and creepy tale that left me filled with dread." - Brian Bowyer, author of Sinister Mix and Flesh Rehearsal "There's melancholy, chills and poignancy throughout this book...Jones really puts his foot down and goes for the jugular. This is a surprising and intense read." - Dan Howarth author of Dark Missives "The Dark Side of the Room delves deep into the horror of a mind devoured by darkness. This book will leave readers with a creeping sense of dread that is all-consuming from start to finish. Tyler Jones is an extremely talented writer who crafts some of the most compelling stories I've read in the horror genre." - Andrew Fowlow, The Horror Oasis "...a tense, supernatural horror that builds steadily without compromise. Themes of dementia and horror bleed together in a story about a strange new resident to an apartment block with a very dark secret." - Craig Wallwork, author of Bad People and Human Tenderloin
