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 Review"One of the most binge-worthy page turners I have read. Malfi’s compelling writing style sparks an insatiable hunger, lasting until it is finally satisfied at the end of the book. A gripping mystery and a likeable narrator; unputdownable." LitReactor, Best Books of 2021 "Malfi impresses in this taut, supernaturally tinged mystery... and sticks the landing with a powerful denouement. There’s plenty here to enjoy."Publishers Weekly"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.

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.

Pan Macmillan No One Gets Out Alive: Now a major NETFLIX film
Book SynopsisNow a major Netflix film.Winner of the August Derleth Award, No One Gets Out Alive is the ultimate haunted house thriller from horror writer Adam Nevill. Darkness lives within . . .Cash-strapped, working for agencies and living in shared accommodation, Stephanie Booth feels she can fall no further. So when she takes a new room at the right price, she believes her luck has finally turned. But 82 Edgware Road is not what it appears to be.It’s not only the eerie atmosphere of the vast, neglected house, or the disturbing attitude of her new landlord, Knacker McGuire, that makes her uneasy – it’s the whispers behind the fireplace, the scratching beneath floors, the footsteps in the dark, and the young women weeping in neighbouring rooms. And when Knacker’s cousin Fergal arrives, the danger goes vertical.But this is merely a beginning, a gateway to horrors beyond Stephanie’s worst nightmares. And in a house where no one listens to the screams, will she ever get out alive?Trade ReviewAdam Nevill has forged his reputation as one of the UK’s best horror writers by writing elegantly stripped down, deceptively simple novels. No One Gets Alive starts off as a similarly pared-back take on the ghost story, but blossoms into something much grander in scale * SFX *Stephanie is submerged in abject terror, bouncing from mundane despair to supernatural fright so quickly that the reader becomes disoriented – a sensation that only enhances the suspense . . . a reading experience fraught with real chills * Publishers Weekly *A macabre, otherworldly tale of a young woman swallowed whole and alive by the horror that refused to be sated * Kirkus *This great big anvil of horror lands hard from the get-go * Booklist *A fantastically cool read from start to finish, this author makes you turn on your lights and keep reading; a bit of an increase to the electric bill seeing as there are over six hundred pages in this unforgettable story. But if there were six stars to be given instead of five, this one deserves them! * Suspense Magazine *Written with an almost elegiac elegance, and a profound insight into the lives of those on the miserable fringes of society, this is a gripping, gruesome bone-chiller with resonant themes, a supernatural edge and an overwhelming sense of malevolence. Read it if you dare . . . but preferably not during the hours of darkness! * Fleetwood Today *A menacing novel that gets under your skin and stays there * Geek Syndicate *Adam Nevill’s No One Gets Out Alive will chill you straight through to the core – a cold, merciless, fear-inducing nightmare to the last page. A word of caution, don’t read this one in the dark * Night Owl Reviews *Brutal, shocking, scary and unnerving, No One Gets Out Alive is the best haunted house story I have read in long time * Ginger Nuts of Horror *Deeply psychological and harrowing, it’s an unforgettable study of cruelty that has plenty of surprises up its sleeve and drags you right to hell and back with it -- Matthew FryerNevill’s work is extremely dark and very often brutal. It’s utterly mesmerizing, you want to look away but you can’t * Eloquent Page *Verdict: a terrifying story of violence and the supernatural that deals with a monstrous evil rooted in the past. 9/10 * Sci-Fi Bulletin *That Nevill managed to sustain dread throughout a novel of this size is a true accomplishment, as this book throws horror at the readers from the very first paragraph and doesn’t let up until the end. If you’re a fan of horror and Adam Nevill isn’t on your radar, you’re doing something wrong * Arkham Digest *Once again we have a dark and disturbing tale from the pen of Adam Nevill, and it’s one which took me on a rollercoaster ride. * BCF Reviews *This here novel definitely comes as a cautionary tale: read the small print of your contract. More so, insist on a contract. And don’t move into the first place on offer. Small Claims Courts cannot fight hell * Waterstones *One of the most scary and emotionally hard-hitting horror novels of recent times -- James EveringtonThe book was brilliantly written. If any author is on his way to becoming a master of dark fiction, Adam Nevill is the one. He has a way of lifting his readers from the safety of their living room sofa into hell itself * Study Paranormal *No One Gets Out Alive is a fine addition to Adam Nevill's oeuvre, another classic piece of horror fiction and evidence that here is a writer at the very top of his game. Read it if you dare. I highly recommend that you should though -- Anthony WatsonIf you are a fan of the horror genre, this novel is a must read and my pick for 2014, albeit it’s an unrelenting and at times brutal story which takes you firmly by the lapels very early on and gets firmly, and unapologetically, right in your face -- Jonathan Wood

Titan Books Ltd Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon
Book SynopsisThe new Sherlock Holmes novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Odin. It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe - eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty - is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit. Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick's calling card... Eve stands to inherit a fortune if she is sound in mind, but it seems that something - or someone - is threatening her sanity. Holmes and Watson travel to the Allerthorpe family seat at Fellscar Keep to investigate, but soon discover that there is more to the case than at first appeared. There is another spirit haunting the family, and when a member of the household is found dead, the companions realise that no one is beyond suspicion.Trade Review"Atmosphere, setting, plot and style combine in a compelling tale" Sherlock Holmes Journal "Compelling and inherently fascinating" Midwest Book Review "Lovegrove has nailed the tone and rhythm of Conan Doyle's storytelling to a tee" Starburst "This is a wonderful, joyous Christmas treat" Starburst "A beautiful book that you'll want to revisit year after year" Culturefly Praise for The Thinking Engine "An enjoyable read that respects Conan Doyle's canon." Crime Scene ""The plot, like the device, is ingenious, with a chilling twist... an entertaining, intelligent and pacy read." The Sherlock Holmes Journal "The world of 19th century academia with its snobbery, petty conflicts and student pranks is brought to life vividly." Baker Street Babes Praise for Gods of War "For fans of the non-canon Holmes stories, this one's a must-read." Booklist "This is an atmospheric mystery which shows just why Lovegrove has become a force to be reckoned with in genre fiction. More, please." Starburst "It's set by the seaside and is the story of a failed holiday... but I will recommend it even if you're not going to the sea this summer, as it is very enjoyable at any distance from the ocean." Baker Street Babes Praise for The Stuff of Nightmares "Lovegrove deftly weaves social commentary on religion, family, love and war into the contest between theocracy and humanism." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The novel is perfectly structured and characters are introduced with flair and humanity. The overall effect is of a tremendously accomplished thriller which leaves the reader in no doubt that they are in the hands of a confident and skilful craftsman." Starburst "This is delicious stuff, marrying the standard notions of Holmesiana with the kind of imagination and we expect from Lovegrove." Crime Time

Titan Books Ltd John Dies at the End - If This Book Exists,
Book SynopsisThe New York Times-bestselling John Dies at the End series continues with another terrifying and hilarious tale of Armageddon and the three hopeless heroes standing in its way. I want you to stop what you're doing and ask yourself an important question: If some dark, powerful entity was attempting to ensnare your mind and dominate your will, would you even notice? A competent devil would know that if he revealed his true nature, you'd resist, or seek help. The ideal possession would be more subtle; to you, it would feel like it was your choice. The takeover of your soul would be soothing, satisfying, maybe even kind of fun. An entity armed with such techniques would ensnare millions before anyone caught on. In possibly related news, Dave, John and Amy hear from a panicked mother that a popular toy and its connected smartphone app are demanding flesh from her daughter. Around the world, other owners of the toy are reporting the same. Who, or what, is behind it? What's their endgame? And why does this mother seem to be harboring dark secrets about her family's past? As these three barely-employed amateurs dig for the truth under layers of high-tech occult manipulation and subterfuge, another crucial question lingers: Is there seriously no one else who can handle this?

Ig had it all, and more - he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone - raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances - with Ig the only suspect.

Out of everything he's written, from his numerous short stories to his novels to his comics, it's Horns I always circle back to. * Tor.com *Horns was a terrific read which helps to bolster Joe Hill's already high status in my personal pantheon of storytellers/writers. * SFF World *After you've watched the movie, I'd whole heartedly recommend checking out the novel, its well worth the read. * Pissed off Geek *An instant classic, Horns commands the reader's attention from the first page to the last and serves as an excellent starting point for Joe Hill virgins. I, for one, can't wait to see the film adaptation, despite the fact that the Ig in my head bears no resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe. This is a must-read, if you haven't already, and well worth a revisit if you have. * Reader Dad *On the whole, I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone. It is wretched, witty, and enthralling. The writing is clever and masterful, despite the few faults I had. I think that if you are of a sensitive or conservative disposition, it might not be the book for you. It is a tragic love story, a murder mystery, and a supernatural fantasy with a dash of theological satire to sweeten the deal. * The Eloquent Page *'Simply put, Horns is fantastic - the author has managed to weave an incredible tale that combines elements of thriller, horror and fantasy and yet has become something very believable, convincing and utterly compelling.' ***** * SFBOOK *Horns is pretty damn awesome. I have read my fair share of supernatural trhillers over the years but with Horns Joe Hill introduces something not seen before, it's not a complete embodient of the devil but holds in the lines. A perfect story that will creep you out and play with your emotions. And at the heart of it all yes a love story, gone wrong. * The Book Plank *

Orion Publishing Co On the Savage Side
Book Synopsis''STRIKING, ETHEREAL AND TRANSCENDENT'' NEW YORK TIMES''THIS BOOK WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS'' BRYN GREENWOODNo heart is safe on the savage side.Arcade and Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart. With their fiery red hair and thirst for escape, they form an imaginative world of their own, nurtured by their grandmother''s stories. But no matter how hard they try, Arc and Daffy can''t escape the generational ghosts that haunt their family. And so, left to fend for themselves in the shadow of their rural Ohio town, the two sisters cling tight to one another.Years later, a local woman is discovered dead in the river. Soon, more bodies are left floating in the water, and as the killer circles ever closer, Arc''s promise to keep her sister safe becomes increasingly desperate - and the powerful riptide of the savage side more difficult to survive.Drawing from the true story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, Trade ReviewEye-opening, chilling and yet compassionate, On the Savage Side is a disturbing and insightful re-imagining of a true-life crime story. * Dan Chaon, author of ILL WILL *A brilliant and beautifully written book about a stark and terrible world, On the Savage Side brings a sense of humanity to the ravages of addiction. This book is as important as it is timely. * Garth Stein, author of THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN *Inspired by a true crime story, Tiffany McDaniel has written a novel of the highest literary merits, a book about the bonds of family, community, and the consequences of those bonds failing us. It is a story that speaks to America's current moral disorientation, and then transcends it. * Elliot Ackerman, author of DARK AT THE CROSSING *Tiffany McDaniel's characters will break a reader's heart with their longing and vulnerable loves. "A trio of women who could have been queens in a different parade," they tell stories of an America that deserves a closer look, from a writer who delineates their lives with tenderness. * Susan Straight, author of HIGHWIRE MOON *In On the Savage Side, Tiffany McDaniel paints a portrait of addiction that is honest and unapologetically brutal, yet her twin protagonists are never defined solely by their struggles. Instead they are artists and swimmers, archeologists and poets, searching for the smallest glints of hope in a world where their love for each other is the only constant. Dedicated to the memory of six women who disappeared or were killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, the novel asks pressing questions about why society deems some injustices tragic and others merely inconvenient. If only all women whose suffering has been ignored could have an artist as gifted as McDaniel to give their eulogy. * Anjali Sachdeva, author of ALL THE NAMES THEY USED FOR GOD *Tiffany McDaniel spins an elaborate, glittering web of brutality and childlike innocence. On the Savage Side lays bare the cruel devolution of addiction, and the way it clings to a family, dragging them into poverty and desperate acts. This book will leave you breathless, heartbroken, and agape at how beauty persists in the midst of tragedy. * Bryn Greenwood, author of ALL THE UGLY AND WONDERFUL THINGS *Striking, ethereal and transcendent * New York Times *Unapologetically beautiful . . . McDaniel combines unflinching realism with otherworldly fairy-tale lyricism to powerfully redemptive effect in this slow-burning reckoning with America's exploding drugs nightmare * Daily Mail *An evocative and deeply moving story * Irish Times *
