If your grandmother is named Squirrel, there’s vermicelli in your soup shaped like skulls, and your house is a hotel called “Nightmare in Pinewood,” then—this isn’t… No, it’s not a fantasy from a mad fairy-tale storyteller. It’s just the dull everyday life of Stepanida Kozlova! Just like the skeletons falling out of the walls, ghosts wandering the corridors, and puddles of fake blood—those are how the hotel entertains its guests. And now, add real-life filming for a reality show with unsuspecting lodgers! Stepanida would be happy to throw those intrusive directors out the door, but Squirrel is insanely excited to get the lead role. She has to play along with her beloved grandmother—the mind, in her soul, of a brilliant actress. But soon Stepanida finds in the corner by the pantry… a corpse—an actual one! Well, she knows how to do everything, she’ll learn— and investigate crimes!
