Two years after dropping out of college and traveling across the American West, Daniel Gardner has accepted the role of caretaker of the historic The El Camino hotel. Built in the high mountains of northern New Mexico, The El Camino served as a remote sanctuary for Industrial Era elites before falling into disrepair after the death of heiress Victoria Vandermueller. Today the renovated resort passes summers in a sleepy lull of business retreats and yoga weekends, something that suits Daniel just fine. Until the night he discovers that he brought some terrible darkness from the road with him.
Daniel finds himself in a race before summer's end to unravel the mysteries of the building, from haunted remnants of prior guests to brujo curses and malicious forces that look to exploit the power within The El Camino for their own means. And it is not only the hotel at ultimate stake, but a battle for his own soul.
The El Camino is the first novel from Car F. Romero, a native of Taos, New Mexico. A Gothic horror in the tradition of The Shining and The Haunting of Hill House, this twisting thriller is sure to keep readers guessing to the end.
