Why we’re excited
Four new horror novellas fill this book: a hidden community with something old inside it, a wife's strange new friend after a hospital stay, a lost civilisation found in the Arctic, and an estate agent who values houses where terrible things happened.
Nick Cutter, the pen name of Craig Davidson, made his reputation with The Deep and The Troop, both brutal body-horror novels. A novella collection is a good way to sample him in short bursts. Readers with weak stomachs should go carefully.
