Peter Curtis

Walwyk seemed a dream village to the new schoolteacher, Miss Mayfield. But dreams can change into nightmares... 
 
When one of her students accuses his friend Ethel's grandmother of abusing her, Miss Mayfield cannot let it go. But Ethel won't say anything, despite the evidence of Miss Mayfield's own eyes. But as she attempts to get to the truth of the matter, she stumbles on something far more sinister. Walwyk seems to be in the grip of a centuries-old evil, and anybody who questions events in the village does not last long. 
 
Death stalks more than one victim, and Miss Mayfield begins to realise that if she's not careful, she will be the next to die...

The Witches

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 ...

Cat out of Hell

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 ...

Touched

Francis Cottam

Every year, three million single women in America move into an apartment for the first time. Few of them change the locks. 
 
Juliet Devereau can't believe her luck: after weeks of looking for a place to live, she's found a beautiful, spacious apartment overlooking Brooklyn Bridge. It almost seems to good to be true. 
 
It is... Over the weeks, a chilling sense of being watched stalks Juliet. Strange sounds wake her in the night, the mirror in the bathroom trembles, and doors she thought shut are open. Then the silhouette of a man standing in her living room makes her realise that she's not alone in there. But what's haunting her is far more terrifying than a malevolent spirit; it's alive, strong and obsessed. Suddenly Juliet is caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, and there's no guarantee that she'll come out alive...
