Synopsis

Bram Stoker award-winner Bentley Little cordially invites you to The Resort. Welcome to The Reata, an exclusive spa isolated in the Arizona desert. Please ignore the strange employees and that unspeakable thing in the pool. And when guests start disappearing, pretend it isn't happening. Enjoy your stay, and relax. Oh...and lock yourself in after dark. Opulent doesn't begin to describe the Arizona getaway where Lowell Thurman, his wife Rachel, and their three young sons have come for one glorious week. Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under. After all, when you're in paradise, a few glitches shouldn't spoil the fun. But the good times come to a screeching halt, when, to the Thurmans' horror, guests begin to disappear. What's happening at the resort? Evil, ancient, and cruel. And unless they can stop it, the Thurmans will be forced to sacrifice at its altar.... Explicit violence.

Goodreads review by Gary on October 10, 2015

This author is the master of starting slowly and building to a crescendo. Knowing this going into the book helps the suspense build as little, bizarre things continue to plague this vacationing family. It begins with people at this isolated, desert resort acting a bit weird and, of course, creepy. Ev......more

Goodreads review by Craig on May 18, 2023

The Resort is a fairly typical Little novel, in which a typical family is thrown into a very weird, nightmarish surrounding of violence and sex and violent sex. One weird event piles up onto the next, and it's very imaginative and the absurdity becomes so over-the-top that it's amusing. You wonder w......more

Goodreads review by Lori on December 17, 2007

Nearly 48 hours after finishing it, I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this book. Disturbed? Check. A tad sickened? In there. Smidge confused? Yup. As for what else is in the mix, I still can't quite say. The basic idea was fun -- haunted desert resort tailors boogeymen to individual guests, pit......more
