The Haunting of Room 904
by Erika T. Wurth
Olivia has been trying to make sense of her life ever since her sister's unexpected death at the Brown Palace Hotel. But when she receives a call suggesting her sister might be connected to a mysterious cult and the eerie pattern of women dying in Room 904 every five years, Olivia finally sees a chance to make things right.
Now one of the most sought after paranormal investigators, known for her rare ability to communicate with the dead, Olivia still can't shake the relentless scrutiny from a particular “reporter” determined to discredit her. Despite facing constant doubt not just for her abilities, but for being a woman in a male dominated field, she remains fiercely committed to advocating for the rights of Indigenous and marginalized communities who’ve long been silenced.
As she delves deeper into one of Denver’s most chilling mysteries, Olivia must confront her guilt, her past, and the truth she's been chasing. Will she finally uncover the answers she's been seeking, or will the weight of her sister’s death continue to haunt her?
I really appreciated how Wurth addressed harassment and discrimination, especially in today’s digital age where a single defamatory post can unleash a wave of online attacks from keyboard warriors. The story’s commentary on this modern day mob mentality felt incredibly timely and relevant.
I also loved the way different cultural and religious perspectives on ghosts and beliefs were woven into the narrative. That said, I found myself wishing for a deeper exploration of Native American beliefs and traditions related to the supernatural. Highlighting these elements more fully would have added even greater depth and offered valuable insight for readers unfamiliar with their cultural significance.
