World's Scariest Places: Volume Three: Mountain of the Dead & Hotel Chelsea
This omnibus edition includes books five and six in the bestselling World's Scariest Places series.
Mountain of the Dead - The greatest unsolved mystery of the 20th century—until now. During the night of February 1, 1959, in the remote reaches of Siberia, nine Russian hikers slash open their tent from the inside and flee into a blizzard in subpolar temperatures. By morning all are dead, several having suffered gruesome, violent deaths. What happened to them has baffled investigators and researchers to this day. It has become known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Now, an American true-crime writer seeking answers to the enduring mystery sets out to retrace the hikers' steps on their fateful expedition—though nothing can prepare him for what he is about to discover...
Hotel Chelsea - The latest novel in the bestselling World's Scariest Places series takes you to the historic Hotel Chelsea in New York City. Many people consider it a cauldron of creativity due to the numerous writers, musicians, artists, and actors who have called it home over the years. But it is perhaps best known for being one of the most haunted places in in the country... When a magazine reporter is tasked with writing a story about the Hotel Chelsea's never-ending renovations, he befriends some of the hotel's eccentric characters. As the days go by, and he experiences increasingly abnormal events in his life, he begins to wonder if there's more to the Hotel Chelsea, and its residents, than meets the eye.

Virtual Voice narration is the absolute worst. I made it 4 hours into Mountain of the Dead when my tolerance for atonal, affectless narration reached it's absolute pinnacle. If you can't hire a human don't put out the audiobook.
