No one has set foot in the abandoned Somnus Hotel for over eighty years, not since the winter of 1938 when its enigmatic owner, Julian Blackwood, and all his guests vanished without a trace, leaving behind only half-eaten meals and luggage-filled rooms. The hotel was sealed, a tomb of timber and stone high in the snow-swept mountains. Now, four urban explorers, drawn by the legend of the “Silent Supper,” have broken the seal. Equipped with cameras and a thirst for notoriety, they seek to document the hotel’s decay. But the Somnus is not dead. It’s waiting. The air is thick with whispers of the past, and the long-dormant malevolence that claimed the original guests begins to stir. As a blizzard rages outside, trapping them completely, the explorers find they are not just documenting a haunting—they are the new featured guests. And in the Somnus Hotel, checkout is a privilege no one has been afforded since 1938.
