The bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location, especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor. With the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone.First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed. Confusion quickly turned to fear, and fear to hysteria when she discovered the front door was barred and the windows were bricked over. There was no way out.One year later, four new female athletes have become guests of the Inn. Will they escape the horrors within its walls? Or will they join the many others who have died there, in ways too terrible to imagine?Amazon Reader ReviewWhen I first read Afraid several years ago, I thought that Konrath/Kilborn had set the bar too high for himself on his first outing into pure horror. Then I read Endurance.This book is so $%$@#! scary, you might miss how perfectly constructed it is, how beautifully the characters are created just for this story. You'll be caught up imagining you're at a big, creepy inn out in the backwoods of West Virginia, and you've just checked in on a late night. Strange things are happening in your hotel room, and as you lie in bed trying to fall asleep, you suddenly realize that someone is underneath the bed. The Shining's Overlook Hotel is like a Sandals Resort compared to The Rushmore Inn. I'm not even kidding. They don't compare.Endurance is a prime example of how Konrath/Kilborn shines at horror like no one else.Scarier and yes, even better than AFRAID....what else do you need to know?
