Death Lake Motel
While driving up to the lake on a fishing trip, retired police officer Owen and his two best friends, Gary and Bob, face an intense storm and wrecked car. Inside the vehicle are two frightened teen girls, who they rescue and take with them. The group stop at the first motel they find for a landline to call for help, but the storm has knocked phones out of commission. But there’s a lot more problems they uncover than disconnected telephones. The desk clerk is dead, and it’s not from natural causes.
Owen and two others in the group check a few motel rooms finding dead bodies and blood in almost every room they check; thus beginning Rod Little’s 128 page novella, Death Lake Motel.
Through descriptive writing, excellent characterization, and exciting plot development, Little writes a horror story with more twists and turns than a mountain road. Death Lake Motel is a quick read as you nibble your fingernails in anticipation of the next revelation.
