Creepers (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

Creepers are urban explorers who gain access into abandoned city buildings in order to explore their architecture and hidden secrets. The obvious problem is that its illegal and, of course, it can be dangerous. The code they live by is to view only and to not change or leave anything behind. I would LOVE to do this so I found this book to be wonderful in its description of the Paragon Hotel and I could see myself spending days exploring such a magnificent, yet creepy place.

The Paragon Hotel is slated to be demolished in a week, so the explorers really need to get in and out in one night. The story takes you with them as they enter sewer tunnels teaming with rats and inbreed cats, finally making access to the hotel. This magnificent building isnt all that it seems, though, and as they explore, the reader learns the history and hidden secrets behind the demented, reclusive millionaire that had it built. Without giving away all of the juicy details, suffice it to say that our explorers run into quite a bit of trouble and terrorizing surprises. This book contained several twists and turns and a surprising ending as well. A good read that will leave you wanting to become a Creeper yourself!
