Publisher Review

`An impressive line-up of established and emerging names.' Sunday Times | `Subtly evocative of human relations - loss, grief, or the fear of loneliness.' TLS | `Will send shivers down your spine and make you check under the bed before you sleep. A satisfying and spooky read.' Sun | `Unnervingly good, with tales of malevolent works of Jacobean art, time-slip theatrics in a Cold War bunker and a keep that lives up to its name.' Sunday Express
