A Room for the Night R L McCallum

A devoted bicyclist and travel writer in need of a Halloween story decides to visit the north country of Yorkshire. His thoughts are to visit villages with haunted houses and to interview people who have ghost stories. Riding his bicycle northward from York, he collects photographs and haunting stories from villagers as he cycles along. Coming to the end of his work day, the threat of a rain storm prompts him to take a back road to an obscure village, where he hopes to find lodging for the night, but after a road accident, he is forced to stay at what he thinks is a bed and breakfast, where he soon discovers that some ghost stories are true and that Hill Top Manor is no place for the living.
