Titan Books Ltd Black Mouth
Book SynopsisA group of friends return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they first stumbled on as teenagers in this mesmerising odyssey of terror. An atmospheric, haunting page-turner from the bestselling author of Come with Me For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together. Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago - the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood. In the light of new danger, they must confront their past by facing their futures, and hunting down a man who may very well be a monster.Trade ReviewPraise for Black Mouth"Brutal, packed with magic, and with an interesting cast of characters who are all outsiders, Black Mouth is creepy, violent, heartfelt horror fiction that has something for every kind of reader. It’s also a book that cements Malfi as one of the most exciting and consistent voices in contemporary horror." – Locus “The well-done cosmic horror and mix of mundane and magical scares make this a standout.” – Publishers Weekly"Malfi, like Stephen King and Stephen Graham Jones, tells horror stories that are anchored in the real world. His characters, like theirs, are ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. He earns his screams and shudders honestly, through good writing and careful plotting: there are no B-movie jump scares here, just an increasing sense of dread that erupts into blood-chilling horror. Don't miss this one." -Booklist"Unsettling and, at times, genuinely frightening, it’s the best horror novel I’ve read in quite some time. Highly recommended." - Cemetery Dance "Stunningly good, with echoes of King, Bradbury, Straub, and McCammon, but somehow purely Malfi. Full of malevolence and dread, and peopled by truly compelling characters, the book locks in Malfi’s place as one of the best writers in the genre.”– Christopher Golden, 'New York Times' bestselling author of 'Road of BONES' and 'Ararat'"'Black Mouth' is good magic about dark magic: a powerful meeting between adulthood and childhood, the people we pretend to be and the people we have to be. Smart, character-driven horror."– Andrew Pyper, author of 'The Residence' and 'The Demonologist'"Malfi has established himself as one of the all-time great horror writers, and 'Black Mouth' shows him working at the peak of his dark powers. Equally terrifying and heartbreaking, 'Black Mouth' is a book filled with terror, ghosts, and murder, but also hauntings of the heart, and the soul. Riveting, bloody, and cosmic, this novel will tear you apart in all the best ways.” – Philip Fracassi, author of 'Beneath a Pale Sky'"From one of horror's best storytellers...If you’re looking for a good, unsettling, smart and well-written horror novel, Black Mouth should certainly be on your short list. This is doubly true if you enjoyed Stephen King’s IT." - Eggplante"Expertly crafted and thoroughly engrossing, Black Mouth is a sure-fire contender for the book of 2022."- Bloody Flicks"Black Mouth is a fantastic horror novel and ranks amongst his very best" - Ginger Nuts of Horror "An intricately plotted marvel of a story...masterful and controlled...highly recommended for horror and thriller fans alike, Black Mouth should not be missed." - Books Bones Buffy“A dark, unsettling and terrifically tense novel. If you’re a fan of Stephen King’s IT or Paul Tremblay’s spine-chilling horror stories, you’ll find this one equally difficult to put down.” - Culture Fly“Malfi’s writing is visceral and full of interest, with plenty of surprising imagery and a sustained creepy atmosphere throughout.” - Interzone Praise for Come with Me:"A stunning and heart-clenching novel... A perfect fit for fans of Stephen King and modern true crime classics like Michelle McNamara’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Come with Me both awes and terrifies from beginning to end." BookPage, Starred ReviewMalfi is a modern-day Algernon Blackwood... I'm gonna be talking about this book for yearsJOSH MALERMAN, author of Bird Box"This is what it is to be transported: you might think you're on solid ground, but Come with Me is a story that will carry you, inescapably, into the uncanny, the horrific."Andrew Pyper, author of The Residence “An exploration into grief, and into the dark secrets within a seemingly perfect marriage. Part mystery, part ghost story, Come with Me chimes with rare beauty and page-turning brilliance. I surrendered to it completely.”Rio Youers, author of Lola on Fire"A must-read for fans of Stephen King. Come with Me is so damn good, truly chilling and suspenseful, yet also hauntingly nuanced"Christopher Golden, author of Ararat"Come with Me is Malfi's masterwork – a haunting, heartbreaking novel about grief and secrets. Utterly engrossing and terrifying. Highly recommended!"Brian Keene, author of The Rising“Shines as both a nightmare journey of shadows and secrets, and a poignant testimony to love and loss. I read it in a single day because I had no other choice: it’s that damn good.”Richard Chizmar, author of Gwendy's Button BoxMalfi impresses in this taut, supernaturally tinged mystery... and sticks the landing with a powerful denouement. There’s plenty here to enjoy.Publishers WeeklyMalfi artfully fits the reader’s head in a noose and s-l-o-w-l-y begins to take out the slack. Take a deep breath.

Book SynopsisA dazzling, provocative debut story collection from celebrated Indonesian writer Intan Paramaditha, putting fierce female characters centre stage in brilliantly funny and sharp twists on fairy tale. ‘Dark, subversive... Here are fairy tales and myths reworked with a feminist bent’ TatlerInspired by horror fiction, myths and fairy tales, Apple and Knife is an unsettling ride that swerves into the supernatural to explore the dangers and power of occupying a female body in today’s world. These stories set in the Indonesian everyday – in corporate boardrooms, in shanty towns, on dangdut stages – reveal a soupy otherworld stewing just beneath the surface. This is subversive feminist horror at its best, where men and women alike are arbiters of fear, and where revenge is sometimes sweetest when delivered from the grave. Dark, humorous, and vividly realised, Apple and Knife brings together taboos, inversions, sex and death in a heady, intoxicating mix.

Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments are moved without her knowledge. She's sure she's being followed.

Isolated in a remote snowbound town, Anna is sure that whoever has been following her is closing in on her and her unborn child.

Wordsworth Editions Ltd Gothic Short Stories
Book SynopsisSelected and Edited with an Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury. Late in the eighteenth century authors began to write ‘Gothic’ stories as a way of putting literature back in touch with the irrational, the supernatural and the bizarre, which had been neglected in the ‘Age of Reason’. This superb new collection brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales from the period in which Gothic diversified into the familiar forms of the ghost- and-horror-story. Work by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell and M. R. James appears alongside that of anonymous writers from the start of the period and many lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories, like the haunting ‘The Lame Priest’ are ‘lost masterpieces’ and several have never been anthologised before. Together they cover the spectrum of Gothic story-telling – tales of madness and violence, of shape-shifters and spectres, that express some of the deepest fears of the human mind – insanity, sexuality, death and the often terrible power of the past to catch up with the present. In a lively, authoritative introduction David Blair provides fresh insights and a detailed commentary on the stories’ place in the complex traditions of Gothic writing in British and American literature.

Little, Brown Book Group Moonflow
Book SynopsisMoonflow is three-time Hugo Award nominee Bitter Karella''s debut horror novel - a gloriously queer and irreverent psychedelic trip into the heart of an eldritch wood and the horrors of (cis)terhood. Answer the call of the forest, if you dare. I see something out there, in the woods. It does not have a face. They call it the King''s Breakfast. One bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human comprehension. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night, where rumors of strange cults and disappearing hikers abound. Sarah makes her living growing mushrooms. When a bad harvest leaves her in a desperate fix, the lure of the King''s Breakfast has her journeying into those vast uncharted woods. Her only guide is the most annoying man in the world, and he''s convinced there''s no danger. But as they descend deeper, they realize they''re not alone. Something is luring them into the heart of the forest, and they must answer its call.''Weird, wild, and oh-so-wretched, Moonflow is the trans botanical horror we need in the world right now.

For fans of The Witchfinder''s Sister and The Silent Companions, this gothic tale will weave its way into your imagination and chill you to the bone. ''Spine-tingling... the scariest ghost story I have read in a long time'' Barbara Erskine ''A wonderful, macabre evocation of a lost way of life'' The Times ''Like something from Emily Bronte''s nightmares'' Andrew Taylor, author of The Ashes of London Maybe you''ve heard tales about Scarcross Hall, the house on the old coffin path that winds from village to moor top. They say there''s something up here, something evil.Mercy Booth isn''t afraid. The moors and Scarcross are her home and lTrade ReviewA wonderfully sinister novel [with] a unique heroine... But the real star here is Clements's beautiful, unsparing evocation of a bygone life on these unforgiving moors * The Times *A striking combination of Brontëan romantic melodrama and gothic ghost story... Clements has written an eerily gripping novel in which the ghosts of the past haunt the present in more ways than one * The Sunday Times *Intense, twisty drama... the atmospheric writing and the strong evocation of the landscape are terrific * Daily Mail *Spine-tingling... the scariest ghost story I have read in a long time. Beautifully written, fantastically atmospheric, it left me sleepless and in tears -- Barbara ErskineBrooding and full of creeping menace -- Laura PurcellThe Coffin Path is the perfect ghost story: utterly absorbing, immersed in a world so completely authentic, peopled by men, women, children - and the beasts of a shepherding life - so completely flesh and blood that when the not-so-flesh arise, it's *terrifying*. But not only that, it's a beautifully wrought evocation of a world and a time that feels as if it's just around the corner. If you like Michelle Paver, you'll love this, but fans of Mantel will love it too - the language is a delight, the word-smithing pitch-perfect, and the narrative drive compelling. This is a book about passion and fear, blood and death and life and love and all the pieces from which life is wrought - if you read only one book this year, make it this one, you won't regret it -- Manda ScottClements brings alive the bleak beauty of the moors with a chilling ghost story that vividly portrays the superstitions and beliefs of 17th-century rural society * Sunday Express S Magazine *A wonderful piece of Yorkshire Gothic, all the more effective for being so firmly anchored in its time and place... like something from Emily Bronte's nightmares -- Andrew Taylor, author of The Ashes of LondonOozing with gothic symbolism, this brooding and beautiful ghost story is guaranteed to haunt your dreamslong after the cover has been closed -- Essie FoxW&H March Great Read - not to be read alone late at night * Woman & Home *Winter nights drawing in has made this atmospheric 17th-century-set gothic story the perfect read over the past few days (Editor's Choice) * Bookseller *Mixes a Wuthering Heights-esque love story with a MR James-esque fire-side frightener... Now we just need Kate Bush to write and perform a song about it * SFX *All the unsettling ingredients for a truly chilling and atmospheric read... Akin to the best of Susan Hill, this is just the kind of tale for the lingering cold nights * Culturefly *A classic of the genre. Anyone who loves Wuthering Heights will adore this -- Rory ClementsCompletely and brilliantly rooted in the rhythms and detail of moorland farming, The Coffin Path is also that very rare thing: a ghost story that is genuinely and memorably scary. I loved it -- Ashley Pharoah (Creator of Life on Mars and The Living and the Dead)A beautifully written, nuanced ghost story which packs a powerful emotional punch. Katherine Clements expertly layers her story of the Yorkshire moors with a burgeoning sense of evil and impending emotional crisis. A haunting and evocative gothic story for a winter's evening -- Sophia TobinAs dark and unsettling as I'd hoped. A brilliant ghost story. Her best novel yet -- Anna MazzolaThe Coffin Path is exquisite - the intense and brooding sense of place is reminiscent of Wuthering Heights, while Clements' characters are as vividly evoked as the dark fate hovering over them all. Highly recommended -- Alison LittlewoodA chilling and disturbing tale of unusual power. The rich, textured writing delivers a gripping sense of time and place. I was convinced, transfixed, transported and I'll be keeping these characters close to me for a long time to come -- Imogen RobertsonSeriously impressive... A good ghost story needs an absolutely authentic framework and a clear place in history, which is what we get here. The supernatural seeps into Scarcross Hall like rising damp, but the real horror is in the everyday cruelty of country life and its lingering barbarism. Even as your heart bleeds for the admirable Mercy Booth, you sense things are only going to get worse... -- Phil Rickman (author of the Merrily Watkins novels)A stunning read! I couldn't put it down. The writing is achingly beautiful and the atmosphere chillingly realised. Both as a historical novel and a ghost story it is so emotional and compelling that I'll be recommending it to everyone -- Nicola Cornick (author of The Phantom Tree)I enjoy a ghost story, but I have found it difficult lately to find one that kept me on edge. The Coffin Path has made up for recent disappointments; it is one of the eeriest books that I have read * Steph's Book Blog *The Yorkshire moors are as bleak here as they've ever been but mix in a ghostly tale, the ghosts of men returning from war and secrets hidden under lock and key and you're in for a real treat. Katherine writes with flair and a flicker of fear in the pen. The scratches of each and every word will pierce your heart and make it go faster... Chillingly brilliant * The Booktrail *A story combination of historical fiction and ghostly goings on is the perfect read for cold wet nights * Postcard Reviews *A chilling and eerie story this is bound to make many lists as a 'must read' book for next Halloween * Novel Heights *Like an unlikely love-child of the Brontë sisters and Daphne du Maurier, Clements has created a rich world in which to wreak havoc on her characters * Bookbag *As much a hymn to the Yorkshire countryside and the old farming traditions as it is a terrifying historical chiller. It is so rich in its beautifully rendered atmosphere that I could feel it pressing at my chest -- Jason Hewitt

Book SynopsisThe Stoker Award-winning, taut and propulsive twist on home invasion horror, packed psychological suspense. Soon to be a major film, Knock At the Cabin, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction. As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world." So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.
