Of Silk and Death

It’s the roaring twenties and Sarah Dullard’s parents work at the luxurious Arlington Hotel in New York City. Sarah has spent her summers in the hotel for years, exploring and reading Weird Tales magazine to the staff.

But the summer of 1928 is different. First, a sudden and strange death shakes the hotel’s tranquil atmosphere. Adding to the tension, Peter Arlington, the hotel owner’s son, arrives to spend the week of his birthday at the hotel, putting pressure on the staff to deliver the ultimate luxury experience.

After a gathering of New York’s high class leads to the disappearance of Peter’s companion, Sarah and the young man decide to embark on a little adventure trying to find him. By connecting a series of strange occurrences around the hotel they’ll realize that things might not be what they seem, and what they thought would be an easy-to-solve mystery, might be much more complicated and terrifying.

What if the pulp magazines that the young woman reads for fun hide a hint of truth?
