Alternating between the past and the present, The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James is a thriller-horror hybrid where the ghosts aren't nearly as scary as the living. After her mother's death, Carly takes a break from college to follow in her long presumed-dead Aunt Viv's footsteps by taking a job at the rundown Sun Down Motel. As she digs into her aunt's past, Carly discovers the disturbing reason why the motel's spirits can't find peace.
