The Little Black Book
Our story begins with a dream, not an extravagant or lavish dream, but a simple one of a nice little home, a wife, a quiet life, and a promising career in the Marines. A dream Darren once lived in but has since lost to the reality of combat trauma, Alcoholism, and what they have now coined as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). With a medical discharge, a rocky at best marriage since his return from Iraq, and a long stint of not being able to hold down any job; Darren was on a downward spiral he was unable to pull out from. He couldn’t really blame his wife for going to live with her mother. She tried, she really tried. But the screaming sleepless nights, along with everything else made it hard to cope with, nothing more than a distant dream now.

The black book
The newspaper reporter was young. So young that her father would tease her that she still had baby fat. The black book came to her in her New York office from a Hungarian immigrant. He said his daughter had "died like a dog" and he wasn't exaggerating. The young prostitute was taken to a rural backwoods road by... someone. Struck by a car and killed, hopefully instantly.

The Darkness Contained in The Cecil Hotel
Many people may not have heard of the Cecil Hotel, before the recent Netflix documentary. The dark malevolence that comes from the place seems to seep from every corridor. Elisa Lam is the most infamous death there, but it certainly isn't the only one.
