Radio Bookclub: The Haunting of Room 904

The August 2025 selection for the Radio Bookclub is The Haunting of Room 904, the latest novel by author Erika Wurth.

As with Erika’s previous book White Horse, this is a horror novel that incorporates Native American history and mythology. The story tells the story of Olivia Becente, who discovers she has the ability to commune with the dead after her sister Naiche dies unexpectedly and under strange circumstances in room 904 of the Brown Palace in Denver. Olivia becomes a paranormal investigator who must confront her sister’s death, and a mysterious and possibly dangerous cult.

This episode was broadcast on KGNU on August 28, 2025, at 9 am. Listen to more of our conversation with Erika Wurth in Afterhours at the Radio Bookclub, where she speaks about why she is attracted to horror as a literary genre.
