Haunted

Haunted is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you`ll ever encounter. They are told by the people who have all answered an ad headlined `Artists Retreat: Abandon your life for three months`. They are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of `real life` that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But `here` turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theatre where they are utterly isolated from the outside world - and where heat and power and, most importantly, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell - and the more devious their machinations to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/non-fiction blockbuster that will certainly be made from their plight.
