Jill Norris is a horror author and paranormal podcaster with a fascination for haunted locations, psychological unraveling, and stories that linger long after the final page. As the co-host of Bantering Banshees, she spends her nights exploring real-world hauntings, eerie history, and unsettling legends. Her debut novel, Room 1210, blends supernatural horror with psychological descent.
Room 1210 is a paranormal thriller centered on two women who host a podcast investigating haunted locations. During an overnight stay at a hotel, they uncover a malevolent presence tied to the hotel’s past, one that doesn’t rely on violence alone, but instead twists perception, feeds on fear, and slowly warps the mind. As the entity’s influence grows, thoughts become unreliable, reality fractures, and the line between curiosity and madness begins to blur. Blending folklore, psychological horror, and themes of friendship and survival, the novel explores what happens when a place doesn’t just haunt you… it changes you.
