In Night After Night, a reality show takes a dark turn as seven strangers confront their fears in a haunted house, leading to unexpected horrors.
In Night After Night, Leo Defford, a skeptical television producer, is determined to create a gripping reality show. Despite his disbelief in the supernatural, he hires journalist Grayle Underhill to delve into the mysterious past of Knap Hall, a former Tudor farmhouse turned luxury guest house. The house, however, holds a dark history that complicates Defford's plans, as its recent tragedies have left it on the market for far too long. Defford sees potential in the eerie atmosphere and believes that sensationalizing its haunted reputation will draw viewers in droves.
As the story unfolds, seven strangers, each with their own reasons for participating, find themselves locked inside Knap Hall for the duration of the show. The isolation of the house, coupled with its sinister reputation, creates a palpable tension among the group. What was meant to be a thrilling reality TV experience quickly spirals into a nightmarish scenario where the boundaries of reality and the supernatural blur. Defford's ambition clashes with the unexpected events that unfold, leading to a chilling exploration of fear, trust, and the unknown.
Night After Night is a suspenseful tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. With expertly crafted characters and a haunting setting, the author weaves a narrative that examines the lengths to which people will go for fame and the terrifying consequences that can arise when they confront their deepest fears. This thriller is sure to captivate fans of supernatural fiction and reality TV alike.
Engrossing and beautifully dark, combining personality disordered TV performers (like myself) and morally vacant journalists along with a collection of spiritual and spirited oddballs all residing in a Big Brother type situation and the inevitable clashes that result. Chuck in a house which may or may not be haunted but certainly has the bleakest of atmospheres and a cracking good read ensues.
