The Ward That Wasn't There

An abandoned hospital hides a corridor that appears on no blueprint, no map, no record of the building's construction. When Ethan Blackwell, Mara Whitlock, and Daniel Cross break in for one night of thrill-seeking, they hear footsteps echoing from a hallway that shouldn't exist. What starts as a dare becomes a descent into something the hospital was built to bury.

Connor Hayes CH writes thrillers and horror fiction inspired by forgotten places - abandoned buildings, sealed-off rooms, and the stories left behind in them. Drawn to slow-burn dread over cheap scares, Hayes builds mysteries around ordinary people who stumble into something the world tried hard to forget. When not writing, Hayes researches real urban legends and historical oddities for future stories.
