It’s almost midnight, you press the lobby button, and the doors only open on that elevator. Do you wait for another? Do you get in and ride the haunted Renaissance elevator at midnight?

29 authors give you our take on the haunted elevator in paranormal, fantasy, and contemporary short stories (most with HEAs) – come, ride the elevator if you dare.
