Description
With the pandemic sweeping the globe, Sarah Ng makes a desperate escape from Toronto to start a new life. But when her car breaks down in Sweetside, an isolated country town, she is forced to quarantine with two charming but disquieting brothers who run the local urban legend: a decaying roadside inn nicknamed the “Suicide Motel”. Trapped between the threat of xenophobic violence and her dark past, she must convince the brothers to help her escape. But how can she know who to trust when everyone, including herself, has their ghosts?
E.L. Chen’s contemporary twist on the gothic novella is an unnerving exploration of fear and what it means to be haunted.

Advance Praise
“Sweetside Motel is a terrifying and totally engaging modern Gothic, ending in a pitch-perfect finale.”
—Devan Barlow, author of the Curses & Curtains series
“Immersive and captivating, E. L. Chen’s Sweetside Motel is unbearably tense and refuses to let you go. An unputdownable exploration of how abuse changes the human psyche in a pandemic hit world, it felt like it seeped into my soul. One of my favourite reads of the year.”
—Sarah New, author of Amissis Liberis and Hypochondria
