A woman trapped on a mountain attempts to survive more than one
kind of monster, in a dread-inducing horror novel from the
bestselling author of Alice Mattie can't remember a time before she
and William lived alone on a mountain together. She must never make
him upset. But when Mattie discovers the mutilated body of a fox in
the woods, she realizes that they're not alone after all. There's
something in the woods that wasn't there before, something that
makes strange cries in the night, something with sharp teeth and
claws. When three strangers appear on the mountaintop looking for
the creature in the woods, Mattie knows their presence will anger
William. Terrible things happen when William is angry.
'Deliciously chilly' - Guardian 'Humming with suppressed hysteria
and madness' - The Times 'Wonderfully evocative' - Heat Hare House
is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me,
kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become
understandable . . . In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman
arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in
London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the
remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home.
But among the tiny roads, wild moorland, and scattered houses,
something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay
figures and young men sent mad. Striking up a friendship with her
landlord and his younger sister, she begins to suspect that all
might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns
to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate
within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch. Sally Hinchcliffe's
Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine
and The Loney. 'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and
shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis
You let them back in.
You shouldn't have...
Young couple Charlotte and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got
on an old house in a beautiful yet remote neighbourhood nestled deep in
the mountains. One day, there’s a knock at the door. A man stands there
with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking
if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to
a fault, Eve lets them in.
As soon as the family enters their home, strange things start to
happen, and Eve wants nothing more than for them to leave and never
come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no
longer welcome.
Then Charlie suddenly vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on
reality. She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the
house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?
The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this gripping, eerily haunting
debut and Reddit hit – soon to be a Netflix original movie starring
Blake Lively – that will keep you up into the early hours. Perfect for
fans of Stephen King and Leave the World Behind.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - Stephen King's terrifying classic.
'They float...and when you're down here with me, you'll float,
too.' Derry, Maine is just an ordinary town: familiar, well-ordered
for the most part, a good place to live. It is a group of children
who see - and feel - what makes Derry so horribly different. In the
storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurks, taking on the shape of every
nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes is appears as an
evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reaches up, seizing,
tearing, killing . . . Time passes and the children grow up, move
away and forget. Until they are called back, once more to confront
IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories,
emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present
reality.
