Book SynopsisNothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death. Osamu Dazai’s immortal and supposedly autobiographical work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.

Book SynopsisA terrifying 1930s ghost story set in the haunting wilderness of the far north. January 1937. Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he''s offered the chance to join an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken.But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone. SomethiTrade ReviewDark Matter is a spellbinding read - the kind of subtly unsettling, understated ghost story MR James might have written had he visited the Arctic * GUARDIAN *Told in the increasingly fearful words of Jack as he writes in his journal, this is a blood-curdling ghost story, evocative not just of icy northern wastes but of a mind as, trapped, it turns in on itself * DAILY MAIL *Paver has created a tale of terror and beauty and wonder. Mission accomplished: at last, a story that makes you check you've locked all the doors, and leaves you very thankful indeed for the electric light. In a world of CGI-induced chills, a good old-fashioned ghost story can still clutch at the heart * FINANCIAL TIMES *Paver is the mistress of suspense, and the strangeness that humans can suffer from when exposed to the Arctic wilderness is brilliantly exploited in this period piece * THE TIMES *Deeply affecting tale of mental and physical isolation * SUNDAY TIMES *The ultimate test of a good ghost story is, surely, whether you feel panicked reading it in bed at midnight; two-thirds through, I found myself suddenly afraid to look out of the windows, so I'll call it a success * OBSERVER *Dark Matter is terrific....(a) wild beast that grabs you by the neck * THE TIMES *The very best ghost stories usually concern the predicaments of the living rather than the return of the dead. It's a point appreciated by Michelle Paver, whose haunting new novella so cleverly illustrates how it is fear, rather than death, which is the great leveller * THE LADY *Neither (Susan) Hill nor Paver allows any doubt. Their ghosts seem real enough. Paver's is, I think, the more disturbing, her vision of an eternally dark world of snow and fear the more convincing, her pattern of mood and suggestion the more satisfying * GLASGOW SUNDAY HERALD *Dark Matter is brilliant. Imagine Jack London meets Stephen King. The novel virtually defines a new genre: literary creepy. I loved it -- Jeffrey DeaverIt's an elegantly told tale with a vivid sense of place - and it's deeply scary -- Lesley GlaisterDisquieting and poIgnant in equal measure, Paver's novel reminds us that fear of the dark is the oldest fear of all.

Unputdownable! * WOMAN'S WEEKLY *Ghost stories don't frighten me much but this one did. Quite a lot, actually ...

Book Synopsis"Amongst the Top 50 Horror Books of All Time" Cosmopolitan Three dark and disturbing horror stories from an astonishing new voice, including the viral-sensation tale of obsession, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. For fans of Kathe Koja, Clive Barker and Stephen Graham Jones. Winner of the Splatterpunk Award for Best Novella. A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s-a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires. A couple isolate themselves on a remote island in an attempt to recover from their teenage son's death, when a mysterious young man knocks on their door during a storm... And a man confronts his neighbour when he discovers a strange object in his back yard, only to be drawn into an ever-more dangerous game. From Bram Stoker Award finalist Eric LaRocca, this is devastating, beautifully written horror from one of the genre's most cutting-edge voices. What have you done today to deserve your eyes?Trade ReviewPraise for Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke:"Amongst the Top 50 Horror Books of All Time" Cosmopolitan USA"Indie superstar Eric LaRocca presents three novellas that capture profound pain and unthinkable horror... With shades of Nicole Cushing and Caitlín R. Kiernan, LaRocca’s book is the ideal choice for readers who want depraved and disturbing horror that scares the living daylights out of them." Booklist"There's something inevitable about these stories, the way before you know it they tighten around your mind like a trap. LaRocca writes startling and gorgeous portraits of damage, and the way it spreads from body to body. Indeed, LaRocca's stories are shocking precisely because, as strange as they are, they seem like they're occurring just down the street." Brian Evenson“Some horror walks you down a dark corridor, where there’s whispers and laughter, sobs and screams. Other horror starts down at the end of that corridor, where there’s a door that opens on to you don’t know what. Read this, and then decide where Eric LaRocca has left you. Not that it matters. There’s no way out.” Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians and My Heart is a Chainsaw"Eric LaRocca's unflinching Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke will crawl inside you, move stuff around, and make you see the world differently, like all great stories do." Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club."A startling affair... I’ll be cleaning up particles of darkness in my office for weeks." Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box and Malorie"Bleak, clever, edgy, and vicious. Eric LaRocca draws his readers in for something they will never expect and never forget." Sadie Hartman, 'Mother Horror'"Eric LaRocca is, without doubt, one of the most exciting contemporary voices in queer horror. Pulling absolutely zero punches, his stories will leave you disturbed, and the viral sensation THGWSWLS is no exception: a visceral tale of obsession and depravity which holds a mirror up to our very darkest impulses. Paired in this edition with two fresh tales of grief and self-destruction, it might be the perfect "introduction" to LaRocca's brand of messy, dark horror... but reader beware: an encounter with these pages will leave you indelibly marked." Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces"Eric LaRocca is like a punk rocker crashing the over-produced world of arena rock in the 1970s: he's ferocious, angry, and coming on at a hundred miles an hour. He reminds us of what horror does better than any other genre: it lets loose the raw primal scream of life." Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters"LaRocca's combination of structure, adept pacing and masterful language is more complex than meets the eye... A must-read for fans of body horror, epistolary novels, and depravity" Library Journal"A hauntingly elegant, masterfully written, and ultimately devastating indictment of cruel manipulation and even crueler submission. This is one deeply fucked-up heartbreaker. You have been warned." John Skipp, author of The Light at the End"Part Dennis Cooper's 'The Sluts', part David Cronenberg's 'The Brood'... Eric LaRocca's 'Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke' is a masterpiece of epistolary body horror." Max Booth III author of We Need to Do Something"'Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke' is a tight, merciless epistolary, each piece of correspondence coiling the reader around its finger and never letting go. LaRocca skillfully weaves a grotesque, unforgettable page-turner of manipulation and depravity." Hailey Piper, author of Queen of Teeth"With darkly poetic prose and chilling stories that peel back layers of skin to reveal a beating, bloody heart, Eric LaRocca is the clear literary heir of Clive Barker." Tyler Jones, author of Criterium and The Dark Side of the Room"Eric LaRocca is a fierce talent that knows no limit, masterful and utterly unmissable!" Ross Jeffery, author of Juniper and Tome"Eric LaRocca's superb collection Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes is cutting edge horror with pristine writing sharp enough to slice open your skin. Strongly recommend." Ray Garton, author Live Girls and Crucifax Autumn

Book SynopsisAward-winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, presents a terrifying tale of hidden worlds and monstrous creations... When Mouse's dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there's more-Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather's journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants...until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself. Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors-because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they're looking for you. And if she doesn't face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.Trade ReviewReads so fast and so effortless that you don't realize how in thrall you are to it. It's the sensation of being a little kid who stayed out too long past dinner and sure, you were having fun, but now it's a moonless night and the forest is dark and you are hopelessly lost. This is righteous, folkloric horror, and the devil is waiting in between these pages. - Chuck Wendig, NYT bestselling author of BLACKBIRDS and WANDERERS Innovative, unexpected, and absolutely chilling, T. Kingfisher isn't just breaking into the horror scene, she's breaking it down. With a hammer. - Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Mira Grant A deliciously horrifying read. I adored it. In turns deeply human and uncanny, THE TWISTED ONES reads like the world's most terrifying episode of Hoarders. Don't sleep on it. In fact, be prepared to never sleep again. - Nebula Award-winning author Alyssa Wong A refreshing contemporary voice, classic scare-filled weirdness, and a big delightful dog for company: THE TWISTED ONES is a hugely entertaining read. - Aliya Whiteley Smart, crackling prose, genuine chills, suspense that doesn't let up - oh, and strange things walking in the woods. This book was so gripping I practically inhaled it. Definitely one not to miss, though you may want to read it with all the lights on! - Alison Littlewood THE TWISTED ONES combines with dread of the classic Arthur Machen tale with the poignancy of IT FOLLOWS. A sweet and shivery tale of things best left unseen by one of the genre's rising stars. - Helen Marshall With a remarkable assured new voice, Kingfisher strides into the haunted realm of folk horror, and quite simply mic drops. - Stephen Volk, award-winning writer of GHOSTWATCH and The Dark Masters Trilogy T. Kingfisher's take on Machen's tale is very fine indeed. Clever, gruesome, funny, and downright terrifying. THE TWISTED ONES is a refreshing twist on folk horror best read in daylight. Don't go into the woods ... no, really, just don't. - Angela Slatter THE TWISTED ONES is a weird, shimmering story told with sharpness and grace - somehow both wild fairy tale and quiet, personal horror in equal measure. It's a strange and lovely balance, expertly crafted for daytime laughter or nighttime trembles. - Cherie Priest, author of THE FAMILY PLOT and MAPLECROFT. Read this one with the lights on. - Kirkus Reviews Kingfisher neatly combines modern elements into a combined folktale and horror story that is rich in atmosphere and characterization... - Publishers Weekly Laden with cosmic fright, THE TWISTED ONES connects the foreboding of ancient folklore with the horrors of modern life. But it does so with a sharp, witty voice and a compelling first-person protagonist who finds herself precariously straddling worlds she never knew existed. - NPR BOOKS My favourite thing about the novel ... is the unpredictability of how the story progresses, the subversion of the most common horror tropes. Fear not, we know from early on, given the framing narrative, that the dog survives. - THE BOOK SMUGGLERS A more than worthy homage to Arthur Machen's classic 'The White People', ... a genuinely creepy tale of supernatural horror and cosmic dread in its own right. - James Brogden PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR Refreshingly charming...it is the mark of a great author to bring characters to life so easily - SFF Book Reviews on BRYONY AND ROSES There is nothing I love more than to be taken by surprise by a story that is so unexpectedly great - Kirkus Reviews on THE SEVENTH BRIDE Darkly funny...a fast and entertaining novel - Locus Magazine on CLOCKWORK BOYS Vernon's worldbuilding is magnificently weird - Tor.com on SWORDHEART
