For decades, the chilling mystery within the derelict hotel has claimed those foolish and unwary enough to go inside.

"This is a hell of a read." -- Cemetery Dance "What follows is the best crossover episode of Law and Order SVU and X-Files that you never knew you wanted and now cannot live without." -- Booklist
"Cranberry Cove feels like a more thoughtful and nuanced episode of Tales from the Crypt with its harrowing examination of masculinity and gender roles inside a carnivorous hotel. Exquisitely written with Piper's signature lush and haunting prose, this bleak and undeniably upsetting novella will provoke and excite like all excellent works of art should." -Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
