You signed on to playtest the biggest reality show around. Nobody told you the set was a real haunted hotel, and the serial killer never checked out.

You step onto a real studio backlot to playtest Slashtag, the biggest reality competition show going. It's a rush, right up until you learn where they filmed it: a haunted hotel that once belonged to a notorious serial killer. That's about when it hits you that you've made the worst mistake of your life.

Now you're trapped in a twisted world of puzzles, challenges, and restless spirits, and the only way out is to survive the game and unravel the mystery of The Propitius Hotel. Push deeper into its halls, or risk everything for one of the show's many horrific endings.

Perfect for fans of interactive horror, gamebooks, and pick-your-path adventures, where every choice could be your last.

Written by Jon Cohn, a prequel to the novel Slashtag that stands entirely on its own. Die-hard fan or brand new to the world, the rules are the same: try not to die. Book 9 in the Try Not to Die series.

HOW THIS INTERACTIVE AUDIOBOOK WORKS: This is a Try Not to Die adventure, so you don't just listen, you decide. At each turning point the narrator lays out your choices, and each one sends you to a different chapter. Use your audio player's chapter list to jump to the chapter you pick, then keep listening from there. Every path unfolds differently, and most end in a quick, grisly death. Choose well, then listen again to experience every possible outcome.

A NOTE ON SAFETY: Because you'll be navigating between chapters as you listen, please don't play this one while driving or operating machinery. Save it for when your hands and full attention are free.

PREFER THE STORY STRAIGHT THROUGH? Look for the Survivor Edition, a start-to-finish recording that follows one complete path with no chapter-jumping required.
