Rotting Within
Rotting Within | Matt Kurtz
2 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
Fleeing an abusive boyfriend, Kenzie Moore and her two small children seek refuge at the Sunrise Bed & Breakfast, a secluded inn run by her estranged grandmother, Shirley. While there, Kenzie and her children promise to follow one simple rule: stay away from the third floor, where its bedrooms house a pair of reclusive old women. Though the inn seems an idyllic place to start anew, Kenzie quickly discovers something malevolent not only lives under its roof, but moves within its walls. When Shirley is called away and the kids are mysteriously stricken ill, a torrential storm further isolates the family and brings forth something out of the darkness, something whispering for Kenzie to "kill the children." It all culminates in a terrifying game of cat and mouse, where Kenzie must battle both new and old demons while trying to prevent an unimaginable horror from taking place on the floors above.

This was pretty good. Matt Kurtz is a film industry person turned author and you can tell. This could definitely be a long Twilight Zone episode or movie. Kenzie is a mother of 2 running away from an abusive ex and taking shelter with an estranged grandmother who runs an out of the way bed and breakfast. But maybe that isn‘t any safer. There were times when I wanted to look over my shoulder because things were getting real tense. Good stuff.

Reggie @Cinfhen the casino I work at, a lot of the Native kids I work with say never to whistle at night in the dark, because maybe something might whistle back. I feel it‘s along the same lines. 2y
Cinfhen Exactly!!! There‘s a bit of truth in all of those superstitions 2y
Balibee146 .... Removes comfy chair from bedroom 😱😱😱 2y
batsy 😰 2y
IndoorDame Yikes!!! 2y
Reggie @Balibee146 @batsy @IndoorDame It‘s also up there with making sure the closet door are closed when you got to sleep. Lol 2y
Bookzombie I‘m going to try not to think about the chair. I really don‘t want to rearrange things, lol. David laughs at me about closet doors, because I insist it be closed. 2y
Reggie @Bookzombie CAUSE there is always someone staring out from the crack of the closet door. Have you ever seen that Goldie Hawn movie where the babysitter looks at the door crack and THERE‘s AN EYE!!!!! Lol, next thing we know, the babysitter‘s dead. Totally understandable. 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie I don‘t know if I have or not, but I don‘t like to have closets open, lol. 2y
batsy @Reggie Same about closet doors. And don't even get started on hotel room closets. Ever since a colleague told me a chilling story, I open them when I first enter for a, "Hi, not to bother you but will be staying here till X, thank you for letting me use this space" ??? 2y
Reggie @batsy @Bookzombie I had a nightmare last week where my boyfriend and I were entering this hotel room for our vacation. ( I have no bf in real life so already this was an exciting dream. Lol) And as we were getting settled there was a knock on the door that conjoins the room next door. We open the door and everything is dark. We turn on the light and no one is there. We call front desk and they inform us no one is staying in that room. Nothing👇🏼 2y
Reggie else happens but I was unsettled. And this was why I was with my dream boyfriend, because he says we should leave. Lol 2y
batsy @Reggie Oh gosh! I can imagine how that would be so unsettling as a dream. But it's nice the Dream Boyfriend is a reasonable one because that's the correct thing to say 😆 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie That would freak me out! So glad dream boyfriend responded appropriately. 😀 2y
