The Dead Sea Hotel: A Moritat

By Alexander McNabb

This is a ghost story.

Krikor Manoukian is the proprietor of the run-down Dead Sea Hotel. His beloved wife Lucine has passed away, his daughter Araksi is mooning around in love with an unsuitable boy and Manoukian is in debt up to his eyeballs. The last thing he needs is a dead Englishman in one of his rooms, but that's just what he's got. Little does Manoukian know it but he's got the Englishman's ghost to deal with, to boot.

When new guests start arriving and Manoukian's hotel fills up for the first time in years, he's delighted: less so when they all embark on a murderous hunt for the Englishman's valise. And if that's not all trouble enough, the Devil himself checks in and pitches Manoukian's fragile world into bewildering chaos.

As the forces of good and evil mount their final battle through their unwitting human proxies, the fragile old hotel is shaken to its very foundations. And the ghosts in its walls learn the true meaning of fear.
