Here's the description of Chelsea Horror Hotel: A Novel that's on
www.amazon.com:
Dee Dee Ramone doesn't quite know what he's getting himself into when he
and his wife Barbara move into the squalid Chelsea Hotel with their dog
Banfield. He spends most of his time trying to score drugs and walking
Banfield, with whom he can magically communicate. Meanwhile, he can't
stand his neighbors and shies away from violence, but wishes everyone were
six feet under. He also thinks that the room he's staying in is the very
room where his old friend Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy Spungen, and begins
having nightmares of Nancy emerging from the bathroom with a knife
wound.
After one of his nightmares, an evil force enters his hotel room and hurls
him against a wall. Dee Dee also gets involved with the transvestite lover
of one of his gay fellow addicts. When his wife finds out, the two fight
it out and become seriously wounded. During all this, Dee Dee is tormented
by the living and dead demons that plague the hotel, along with the ghosts
of his old dead punk rock friends Sid Vicious, Johnny Thunders and Stiv
Bators. And that's when the Devil himself decides to join the
party...
