From the author of the "dark and devious...beautifully written"
(Stephen King) Mirrorland comes an "atmospheric, thrilling, and
utterly captivating" (Booklist) gothic tale set on a remote
Scottish island where the locals are hiding a deadly secret. Maggie
Mackay has been haunted her entire life. No matter what she does,
she can't shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And
maybe something is... When she was five years old, Maggie announced
that a man on the remote island of Kilmeray in Scotland's Outer
Hebrides--a place she'd never visited--was murdered. Her unfounded
claim drew media attention and turned the locals against each
other, creating rifts that never mended. Now, nearly twenty years
later, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened, and
what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some
are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, the
island's legendary and violent storms begin to rage again and
Maggie's own life is in danger... Unnerving, enthralling, and
filled with gothic suspense, The Blackhouse is a spectacularly
sinister tale readers won't soon forget.

The most dangerous stories are the ones we tell ourselves…
No. 36 Westeryk Road: an imposing flat-stone house on the outskirts of Edinburgh. A place of curving shadows and crumbling grandeur. But it’s what lies under the house that is extraordinary – Mirrorland. A vivid make-believe world that twin sisters Cat and El created as children. A place of escape, but from what?
Now in her thirties, Cat has turned her back on her past. But when she receives news that one sunny morning, El left harbour in her sailboat and never came back, she is forced to return to Westeryk Road; to re-enter a forgotten world of lies, betrayal and danger.
Because El had a plan. She’s left behind a treasure hunt that will unearth long-buried secrets. And to discover the truth, Cat must first confront the reality of her childhood – a childhood that wasn’t nearly as idyllic as she remembers…

From Ellen Datlow, award-winning and genre-shaping editor of more
than fifty anthologies, and twenty of horror's established masters
and rising stars, comes an all-original look into the beautiful,
terrible, tragic, and terrifying. Wander through visions of the
most terrible of angels, the Seven who would undo the world.
Venture through Hell and back, and lands more terrestrial and
darker still. Linger a while in childhoods, and seasons of change
by turns tragic and monstrously transformative. Lose yourself
amongst the haunted and those who can't let go, in relationships
that might have been and never were. Witness in dreams and
reflections, hungers and horrors, the shadows cast upon the wall,
and linger in forests deep. Come see what burns so bright. . . .
