					<description><![CDATA[Alfred Smettle adores Hitchcock. And who better to become founder, owner and manager of the Hitchcock Hotel, a remote, sprawling Victorian house sitting atop a hill in the beautiful White Mountains, New England. There, guests can find movie props and memorabilia in every room, round-the-clock film screenings, and an aviary with fifty crows. For the hotel's first anniversary, Alfred invites the five college friends he studied film with. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years. Not after what happened. But who better to appreciate Alfred's creation? His guests arrive, and everything seems to go according to plan. Until one glimpses someone standing outside her shower curtain. Another is violently ill every time she eats the hotel food. Then their mobile phones go missing. You should always make the audience suffer as much as possible, right?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Wisewood. We'll keep your secrets, if you keep ours. High-flier Natalie Collins always has a plan. Her younger sister Kit rarely does. Until she finds Wisewood. When Kit insists on joining the self-help retreat on a secluded Maine island, Natalie has concerns. Why does it forbid contact with the outside world? Is it a cult? Then, after six months of silence, Natalie receives a message: Would you like to come tell your sister what you did - or should we? Who is digging into the Collins' past? How did they discover Natalie's secret? She will have to go to Wisewood to find out if this place of healing has more sinister motives. Can she rescue Kit? Or might Natalie be the one who needs saving? Because Wisewood is far easier to get into than to leave.]]></description>
