Minette Walters

The terrifying Hammer novella by Minette Walters, bestselling author of The Sculptress and The Scold's Bridle 
 
Muna's bedroom is a dark windowless cellar and her activities are confined to cooking and cleaning. She’s grown used to being maltreated by the Songoli family; to being a slave. 
 
She’s never been outside, doesn’t know how to read or write, and cannot speak English. 
 
At least that’s what the Songolis believe. 
 
But Muna is far cleverer - and her plans more terrifying - than the Songolis, or anyone else, can ever imagine ...

The Cellar

DBC Pierre

'Hell is other people.' A chilling, page-turning Hammer novella by the Booker-Prize-winning author of Vernon God Little. 
 
The setting: a faded, lonely guesthouse on the Essex coast. Outside, it's dark, and very foggy. Inside there's no phone or internet reception, no connection with the outside world. 
 
Enter Ariel Panek, a promising young academic en route from the USA to an important convention in Amsterdam. With his plane grounded by fog at Stanstead, he has been booked in for the night at the guesthouse. Discombobulated and jetlagged, he falls in with a family who appear to be commemorating an event. 
 
But this is no ordinary celebration. And this is no ordinary family. 
 
As evening becomes night, Panek realises that he has become caught in an insidious web of other people's secrets and lies, a Sartrian hell from which for him there may be no escape.

Breakfast with the Borgias

Joanna Briscoe

A chilling, deeply creepy Hammer novella by Joanna Briscoe, author of the acclaimed, bestselling novel, Sleep With Me. 
 
Rowena Crale and her family have moved from London. 
 
They now live in a small English village in a cottage which seems to be resisting all attempts at renovation. 
 
Walls ooze damp, stains come through layers of wallpaper, celings sag. 
 
And strange noises - voices - emanate from empty rooms. 
 
As Rowena struggles with the upheaval of builders while trying to be a dutiful wife and a good mother to her young children, her life starts to disintegrate. 
 
And then, one by one, her daughters go missing ...

Lynne Truss

By acclaimed storyteller Lynne Truss, author of the bestselling Eats, Shoots and Leaves, the mesmerising tale of a cat with nine lives, and a relationship as ancient as time itself and just as powerful. 
 
The scene: a cottage on the coast on a windy evening. Inside, a room with curtains drawn. Tea has just been made. A kettle still steams. 
 
Under a pool of yellow light, two figures face each other across a kitchen table. A man and a cat. 
 
The story about to be related is so unusual yet so terrifyingly plausible that it demands to be told in a single sitting. 
 
The man clears his throat, and leans forward, expectant. 
 
'Shall we begin?' says the cat ...

However, he soon discovers that this dream buy is in fact a living nightmare; the mirror was not only in Boofuls house, but witness to the death of this blond-haired and angelic child, which in turn has created a horrific and devastating portal to a hellish parallel universe. So when Martin's landlord loses his grandson it is soon apparent that the mirror is responsible. But if a little boy has gone into the mirror, what on earth is going to come out?
