About this audiobook
Eric abandons his fiancé, Eleanor, at the Edinburgh Christmas market, following a mysterious woman back to the hotel she owns in the Highlands. Here he meets the men that staff the vacant rooms. Men like him. Men with something to hide…
By day, the men carry out their domestic chores in the hotel, cut off from the rest of the world by the snow. At night, they tell horror stories beside the fire, hoping to entertain the woman they serve. They do not ask why there are no guests, why it always snows, why they can't go home. Seeds of doubt begin to plague Eric and, as he delves deeper into the lives of the men at the hotel, secrets are uncovered.
The Gingerbread Men mixes Shining-esque mystery with dark fairy-tales, serving up a perfect Highland hotel horror. Joanna Corrance’s nightmarish novel explores the quiet corridors of desire that pull us, and the places occupied by men and women in the tales we’re all familiar with.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great premis, writings, and narration. The characters were strongly developed, and the narrator was successful in demonstrating their emotions. The visual depictions were vivid and well created. Suspenseful and intriguing, I was unable to put it down. Not so much horror, more thriller with a hint of horror but so well done. Great...Great...Great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A pleasant surprise! Not sure what my expectations were but it exceeded them
