A woman on the run finds refuge in a motel at the edge of the woods, with plenty of vacancies. Check in for the night with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.
Eve has a fake ID, a .38, and a violent lover receding in the rear-view mirror. He'll never find her at the isolated motel, and its kindly manager is happy to ease her fears. But if Eve is the only guest, whom does she keep hearing on the other side of the wall? Eve won't get a good night's rest until she finds out.
Lisa Unger's The Sleep Tight Motel is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

The Sleep Tight Motel is a cracking story. I enjoyed the way Unger incorporates flashbacks of Eve's life and how her world descends into a nightmare when she falls for someone dangerous she loves and loathes at the same time. The story is well-written and packed with suspense. I enjoyed every word. The ending stunned when Unger reveals what really happened to Eve and hints at what The Sleep Tight Motel really is.
