The Edgewater Hotel sells one promise on every brochure, booking page and brass door plate: every room faces the ocean. The promise is almost true. One room, tucked at the end of a corridor where the carpet stays damp no matter the season, looks out on a street that has no business being there. It is a street in Cole Donovan's hometown, the one he left behind and swore he would never see again.
Cole checks in for a quiet week and a clean break from his past. Then the curtains open on cracked pavement, a flickering porch light and a house he recognizes. Rebecca Holloway, the night manager who knows more than the front desk allows, warns him to keep the drapes closed. Nathan Graves, a guest who has stayed longer than the register shows, says the street changes every night and moves a little closer to the door.
As the tide pulls back and the view outside grows more familiar, Cole learns that the Edgewater doesn't just hold its guests. It collects what they buried, and it always knows which window to show them.
Connor Hayes writes horror and paranormal fiction about haunted places, buried memories, and the doors people spend years avoiding. Drawn to salt air, empty corridors, and stories where the scariest thing is a familiar face, he blends slow-building dread with warmth and a touch of dark humor. The Street Behind the Sea View is his debut novel. When he isn't writing, he collects sea glass and keeps the porch light on.
