About this book
Martin thought dying would mean leaving the hospital.
Instead, he wakes beside his own body, trapped in room nine. The clock keeps returning to 2:17. A child laughs somewhere beyond the wall. And someone knocks on his fourth-floor window.
Outside waits a dead neighbor—and a creature with too many eyes.
As Martin searches for a way out, he discovers that his death may not have been an accident. A grieving doctor is keeping secrets, a locked cabinet answers in a child’s voice, and another patient is about to enter room nine.
Martin’s daughter could help expose the truth. But reaching her requires strength he barely understands—and anger offers him a terrifying shortcut.
To protect the living, Martin must decide what kind of presence he will become: a father trying to be heard, or something driven by revenge.
The Dead Man in Room Nine is the second standalone story in the Halloween Collection, a chilling supernatural mystery about unfinished conversations, dangerous grief, and the courage to let go.
