Review: A good old-fashioned hotel ghost story

Terror at the Sterling is a short story reminiscent of some of Stephen King's early short stories. At its core, its a good old-fashioned hotel ghost story, pitting curious hotel workers against the ghosts of bloodthirsty prostitutes. Like many of King's stories, there's no guarantee of a happy ending. Things will be as they will be, and you're just along for the ride. Also, the story has quite a bit of adult language (some referencing sexual acts), so it's patently adult. A couple of other reviews pointed out that it needed a little editing, but it must have been cleaned up by the time I read it, as nothing really stood out, other than that the dialogue is separated by a line spacing - which, while not conventional, didn't bother me. The story is interesting enough, and while there where still questions about they what and why of things, it was a decent evening read.
