Sooki Brookes is a troubled girl and throughout the night she walks the dark bowels of an inn named the Rym Greaper while escorting customers to and from the outhouse.

For weeks now, a leering force of darkness stalks this tiny girl during the twilight hours and as she tiptoes along the hallways of the inn, unseen entities tug at her dress, poke her ribs, and whisper tormenting words from the shadows.

Who are these entities and why do they enjoy tormenting this girl?

Can a witch named Marleigh ever teleport without crashing into things?

Why does Elise Mayflower hate tambourines so much?

And is it ever safe to take a bath at a guesthouse named The Hairy Finger?
