Creepers: a novel

CREEPERS: David Morrell: CDS Books(2005), Fiction: 354 pgs

Frank Balenger--young 30’s journalist--joins a group of “creepers”, a.k.a. urban archaeologists who explore historical (closed to the public) buildings. This group is headed by a university history professor who chooses New Jersey’s Paragon Hotel as the scene for their next illegal, but exhilarating excavation. Built by a rich eccentric, the pyramid shaped building has been sealed tight for over 30 years. Page by page the thriller unravels its mysteries of suicide, kidnapping, sodomy, and murder. And the true story behind Frank’s eagerness to join this particular adventure reveals itself slowly and deftly as Morrell guides you through this nightmare of evil.

David Morrell is a true-life member of the Special Operations Association and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. Winner of the Bram Stoker award, this novel is absolutely guaranteed to creep you out.
