Consider this: four girls with names as mundane as Brittany and Sierra stay for a long weekend in the strangely deserted New Arcadia Inn. Inexplicable accidents befall them and curious noises emanate from above their room. Tessa is arachnophobic, but during a game of Truth or Dare the four girls become trapped in the attic at the mercy of a giant spider called Fluffy who is taken on nightly walks by the hotel's owner, Sebastian. (Really!) All the girls die - three are wound in spider's web cocoons and Tessa plunges to her death from the attic window. Sadly, Nick, 'a good-looking guy . . . with wavy chestnut-coloured hair, dark blue eyes and a shy smile', is unable to save her. In the words of Brittany, that 'tall, slim redhead with the brittle personality' - Chill Out!
