Eerie, atmospheric and lyrical. An intense romance and an endless stream of horrifying creatures coming from the forest every night.

Switching between the Old Woman’s present as she haunts a young man and her past, we get to see her slow and steady descent into villainy.
A fun, deeply bizarre, gory read. This wild ride will keep you guessing and giggling the whole way through – I loved it!
It doesn’t take itself too seriously and, like the best horror films, it ends abruptly and bizarrely, with potential for a sequel.
Sims masterfully weaves an unsettling narrative of poverty, humanity and a very haunted building. A truly gripping read.
A House with Good Bones perfectly encapsulates the liminal feeling of returning to a rural town, mixed with the unsettling feelings of fear and self-doubt
It’s well written with compelling characters and a gripping plot. Don’t judge a book by its terrible movie adaptation!
A creepy novel with perfectly crafted suspense, characters that feel real and a monster that feels straight out of a classic horror film
This slow-burn story delicately crafts suspense and perfectly maintains the terror of the unknown that the horror genre is known for.
A dark and delicious retelling of Dracula’s wives. Constanta’s undead life revolves around her mysterious saviour.
