Lucky Number 13

Crestview Tower claims it has only twelve floors. Residents know better. When people begin dying inside the building’s elevators—calm, smiling, and without signs of struggle—investigative journalist Anita Bath is drawn to the pattern no one else wants to see. Every death happens just after midnight. Every victim steps willingly inside. And every case file is missing the same detail: a floor that officially does not exist. Malik Soap, a structural engineer assigned to inspect Crestview, believes he is only there to evaluate faulty elevator systems. What he doesn’t realize—at least not at first—is that the building remembers him. Years ago, Malik survived something that should have killed him. Crestview Tower let him go… but it never forgot. As Anita and Malik uncover the truth behind the erased thirteenth floor, they discover that the building is not merely haunted—it is hungry. Born from decades of hidden deaths and suppressed suffering, the thirteenth floor has learned to survive by offering its victims what they crave most: comfort, recognition, and release. Love, fear, and desire feed it equally. Drawn together by danger and an undeniable attraction, Anita and Malik’s growing romance becomes both their greatest strength and their greatest threat. The closer they become, the more violently the building responds—rewriting records, manipulating memories, and forcing them to confront an impossible choice. To end the murders, one of them must stay. To escape, they may have to abandon not only the building—but each other. Lucky Number 13 is a chilling blend of horror, murder mystery, and dark romance, exploring obsession, sacrifice, and the terrifying idea that sometimes the most dangerous place is where we feel most seen.
