4.0

 The building has a long history of different uses and curses. Now it isn't quite as abandoned because there is a firm that wants to resurrect its usefulness. But there's still the death curse and the ghosts. The photographer trespasses with others and comes to feel a deep need to investigate the death of a man she met there. The story is twisty and atmospheric and good to read on a dark and stormy night.
