The 24 Floors Hotel
A vertical horror collection exploring twenty-four haunted floors of an urban hotel.
Jarone organizes the text by floor number, creating a segmented experience where each chapter introduces new entities. The friends act as catalysts for revealing these secrets, moving upward through the structure. Each ghost story remains tied to its specific level, preventing a single unified villain but offering cumulative dread. The source material emphasizes mystery and suspense over gore, relying on the unknown aspects of the past. This approach allows for varied tones within the same setting, from melancholic to terrifying. The narrative does not resolve all mysteries, leaving some secrets intact to maintain the eerie atmosphere throughout the journey.
The book sits within the American tradition of urban gothic fiction, where modern settings clash with ancient curses. It reflects contemporary interest in localized horror and the history embedded in city structures. The 2023 publication date places it in a period of renewed interest in atmospheric, setting-driven supernatural narratives.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Jarone effectively utilizes the hotel’s verticality to create distinct episodes of supernatural terror, avoiding a monotonous single-villain approach. By tying each floor to specific entities and histories, the author builds a layered sense of unease rather than relying on shock value. The narrative successfully balances melancholic and terrifying tones, catering to readers who enjoy mystery and psychological horror over explicit violence. While it lacks fast-paced action or romantic subplots, its strength lies in the tension between grandeur and decay. This approach ensures that the atmosphere remains eerie and unresolved, providing a satisfying experience for those interested in the psychology of fear within urban settings.
