Description

IT'S A CHARMING FANTASY NOVEL. IT'S A PARANORMAL ROMANCE. AND IT'S A SUPERNATURAL COMEDY.

'Warm and wonderful . . . a fun and inventive play about found family and being your best self' SARAH BETH DURST

SEVEN FLOORS. SEVEN TRIALS.

Limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, and violence.
Welcome to the Purgatory Hotel, where you must take your test and meet your fate.

The Purgatory Hotel for Wayward Ghosts is a temporary passing place, and the final test for those who lived middling lives. Passing through your floor fully reformed means going up to heaven, but succumb to temptation, and it's straight to hell . . .

Delilah has successfully completed her test on the floor of Greed, her worst sin whilst alive, and is ready to be taken up to heaven in the rusty elevator that runs through the hotel.

But before Damien, the elevator boy, can press that glorious white button, the lift breaks.

As the number of guests rises, unable to pass through the hotel as intended, chaos ensues. Heather, the receptionist, finds herself dealing with the discontented dead, disappearing ghosts, and a glitching hotel.

Can a rag-tag team of workers and guests navigate their way through the hotel and discover the problem festering at its heart before it's too late?
