Kill Creek by Scott Thomas

Four bestselling horror writers, each carrying past traumas and controversies, reunite to spend a night in a notorious, supposedly haunted house in a dying Midwestern town as a publicity stunt—and find themselves trapped by a storm and a mounting series of uncanny, reality-warping events. As secrets, rivalries, and unreliable memories surface, they are forced to confront a malevolent presence tied to the town’s violent past and to their own roles in perpetuating the legend. The novel mixes metafictional commentary on storytelling and fandom with escalating psychological and supernatural terror, building to an ambiguous, chilling finale.
