Storyline

When Ohm Bauman, a horror novelist, retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, he is consumed by tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront the dark corners of his past. — NEON Rated Inspired by an old photograph of his mother and an otherworldly visitation in his dreams, Ohm decides to visit the secluded Bilberry Woods Hotel in Ireland. After all, his late parents honeymooned there; this is the ideal place to seek inspiration for a fitting epilogue to his highly anticipated adventure trilogy. But layers of buried childhood trauma and repressed guilt cloud Ohm's mind. And in an enchanted land brimming with ancient folklore and spine-chilling tales of mythic creatures and witches, Ohm feels compelled to unravel the mystery of the hotel's honeymoon suite. Sometimes, things happen for a reason. Does the off-limits room have something to do with the unaccountable disappearance of a staff member? Pulled into a macabre investigation, can reason explain the horrors that lurk in the dark? — Nick Riganas
