Tower Block Ghost Story
|
|
The Keeper
David Rudkin ‘A strange, elegiac story, vividly atmospheric, tragic with loss though not without its glimpse of salvation. A tale of time passing, and of what time leaves behind. Truly wonderful’ Patrick McGrath (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Cocky Watchman
Ailsa Cox ‘Layers of time, of class, of ways of living, and narrative voices moving uneasily among them, from different perspectives… Cox shows a wealth of life at risk of disintegration’ David Constantine (14pp) available more info |

This Must Be Earth
Melissa Wan ‘Wan’s intriguing mystery of loss, told in crisp, sparse prose, is a narrative for our age of environmental destruction. The story, while entertaining, raises important questions about personal responsibility and the consequences of inaction’ Vesna Main (19pp) SOLD OUT more info |

Edited by Nicholas Royle ‘These are stories for and of our time, a time when our lives are at the beck and call of an invisible force that plays havoc with our sense of agency and free will’ from the introduction by Angelica Michelis (100pp) available more info |

House Calls
Vlatka Horvat ‘Like Daniil Kharms on Adderall: an accumulative horror story about unexpected visitors’ Kieran Devaney (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Like a Fever
Tim Etchells ‘This oneiric tale is as precise – and brutal – as a horror film’ Laura Ellen Joyce (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
On Blackfell
Tom Heaton ‘A wonderfully tense and evocative short story, rich in atmosphere and imagery. A hike to an airplane crash site becomes an exploration of family history, scarred landscapes, and intimacy. A writer to watch’ Julianne Pachico (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Shannon
Angela Goodman ‘In a story perfect for this strange year, Goodman asks how we find meaning in a cacophonous world of disembodied voices, how we know what is real, and how much faith we should have that technology can heal our broken planet’ Andrew Michael Hurley (12pp) available more info |

The Red Suitcase
Hilaire ‘Creepily unsettling – a tale you will read with bated breath’ Regi Claire (19pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Signal
Michael Walters ‘A moonlit walk, a sense of foreboding, masterfully deployed. The reader is kept guessing as to what is illusory and what real. Unsettling developments rise like smoke. A broodingly atmospheric and memorable read’ Jackie Law (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Hide
Roberta Dewa ‘Hold your breath and don’t make a sound. The watchers be watched; be warned. Bewitching’ Tony White (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Wash
Daniel Gothard ‘An insidious story that imagines a terrible reaction to mishandled emotions, displaying the results through a blurred lens. That blur engenders empathy, which is where the real horror lies. This is going to stick with me for a long time’ Françoise Harvey (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Trick of the Light
Andrew Humphrey ‘Andrew Humphrey’s homage to the master, MR James, is just as brilliantly disquieting as anything James might have done – with the bonus that Humphrey charts the fracture lines of human relationships with unflinching honesty. “Trick of the Light” disturbs on many levels’ Eric Brown (18pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Regret
Robert Stone ‘Clever writing, this. It has insinuated itself into a world you might know, or think you know, or wish you didn’t. Read it and you might feel a familiar eerie sadness, yes, but one that is both exciting and unsettling in equal measure’ Kerry Hadley-Pryce (18pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Halloween
Nicola Freeman ‘The brevity and simplicity of this story are deceptive; as you read and reread, its surfaces shift and pull apart, revealing vertiginous depths beneath’ Jean Sprackland (9pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
|
‘Doe Lea’
M John Harrison ‘Quickly establishes a sense of foreboding that is difficult to ensnare: a dream-like journey through landscapes that shimmer and are populated by uncanny subjects. It begs the question of what memories are and how they serve us’ Lucie McKnight Hardy (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Le détective
HP Tinker ‘Heaped full of trashy clues and lurid pop-culture signposts, all directing you further inward, and like a fever dream it makes sense until you try to explain it. It’s also really funny’ Chris Killen (24pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
|
so this is it
Paul Griffiths ‘Did someone say music in literature? Did someone say mind at the end of its tether? Did someone say, oh feel your way to the end of words and beyond? Paul Griffiths knows where that is’ Gareth Evans (9pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Jutland
Lucie McKnight Hardy ‘A beautifully judged exploration of torment told with a deft lyricism in exquisitely understated prose’ Livi Michael (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Broad Moor
Alison Moore ‘A strange, haunting story with a deceptively unruffled and austere surface. Alison Moore’s is one of the most singularly original imaginations at work now’ Neel Mukherjee (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Message
Philippa Holloway ‘A deftly constructed tale of domestic anxiety: there’s a lurking, lurching sense that something, or someone, is very wrong indeed. Holloway artfully tempts the reader, through pin-sharp observation of character and setting, to locate the source of dread. A superbly crafted short story’ Jenn Ashworth (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Violet Eye
Mike Fox ‘Don’t be fooled, this is no simple story of fathers, sons and pigeons, but a quietly powerful unfolding of what we send out into the world and what is returned’ Tania Hershman (13pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Hook
Florence Sunnen ‘I thought I detected hints of Jackson and Bradbury, but ultimately Sunnen’s vision is all her own: the banalities of family life picked apart, coolly examined and expertly reassembled as something altogether creepier and more alien. A small masterpiece of surreal body horror’ Anne Billson (18pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Living Together
Matt Thomas ‘These instagrams of everyday life in south London, featuring precarity, start-up culture and a grotesque medical problem, are funny and increasingly unnerving. Absurd in the best sense of the word’ M John Harrison (20pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Bremen
Claire Dean ‘The uncanny at its most beguiling: resonant, exquisitely written, and infinitely moving’ David Rose (14pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Unwish
Claire Dean ‘Dean’s deft exploration of longing and shame made me hum out loud several times in recognition. A masterclass in understatement’ Leone Ross (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Paymon’s Trio
Colette de Curzon ‘A story of music and the dark arts to compare with The Lost Stradivarius. Resonant with the allure of the forbidden, this is a tale told with distinction and grace. Enthusiasts of the great tradition in supernatural fiction will be delighted’ Mark Valentine (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Automaton
David Wheldon ‘Automata have fascinated over the centuries: the chess-playing Mechanical Turk; the organ-playing La Musicienne… None would have been as intriguing, or as affecting, as David Wheldon’s emotive Automaton’ David Rose (19pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Rounds
Wyl Menmuir ‘An absorbing and gorgeously eerie story with a lonely heart. The final, chilling scene is embedded in me like glass’ Alison Moore (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Fury
DB Waters ‘DB Waters’ “Fury” combines the claustrophobia of Edgar Allan Poe with the vividness of Hammer Horror. I loved every tight, lurid sentence’ Louise Welsh (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Numbers
Christopher Burns ‘Laconic, understated and shocking. The atmosphere is powerful and the turning point utterly unexpected. A very chilling story from a true and original talent’ Margaret Drabble (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Jackdaws
Neil Campbell ‘Pristinely wrought, ruthlessly patient, “Jackdaws” is a haunting and unsettling story’ Colin Barrett (11pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Woman Who Lived in a Restaurant
Leone Ross ‘Leone Ross invites you to a sensory feast, charged with erotic tension. The magic that embodies the central metaphor reverberates in the pitch-perfect cadences, the emotional gravitas. This story leaves you deeply satisfied, wanting more’ Patience Agbabi (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Last Christmas
John D Rutter ‘Like the best fabulists, John D Rutter finds something strange and miraculous in everyday life. This tale crams the wistfulness and the cheery mayhem of the holidays into one sublimely absurd package’ Helen Marshall (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Harvestman
Alison Moore ‘Alison Moore takes the reader with deceptive simplicity into the dark and out the other side. I love the way she celebrates the ordinary, the ludicrous and also the lost’ Rachel Joyce (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Home
Tom Fletcher ‘Wildly original and provocative. Like Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter, I can’t get it out of my mind’ Dennis Etchison (8pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Getting Out of There
M John Harrison ‘Strange and troubling, pained and tender; deeply weird in its blocking, and brilliant in its evocation of mental disarray and the distance between people’ Robert Macfarlane (19pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
M
Hilary Scudder ‘Compellingly written, with menacing, erotic undertones. A dark jewel of a story’ Alice Thompson (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Jungle
Conrad Williams ‘In a Conrad Williams story you always see the very texture of the world's simplest and sudden horrors, but through eyes you thought had closed in your past’ Adam Nevill (13pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Touch Me With Your Cold, Hard Fingers
Elizabeth Stott ‘A chilly tale of urban alienation. Insidious, creepy and distinctly weird’ Nina Allan (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
|
Small Animals
Alison Moore ‘Eerie, claustrophobic and disconcerting – a pitcher plant of a story’ Michael Marshall Smith (14pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Puck
David Rose ‘David Rose successfully marries a tone of conversational, and almost chatty, informality to a vocabulary that is dense with allusion and symbolism. The result is a short and mysterious anecdote which somehow manages to imply an entire life’ Mark Cocker (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Marionettes
Claire Massey ‘Claire Massey has the gift of making the ordinary something very sinister, and the extraordinary uncomfortably real. Don’t get too close — this burns like ice’ Robert Shearman (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Into the Penny Arcade
Claire Massey ‘Massey masters the art of quiet disturbance. I like her cool, controlled violence’ Liz Jensen (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Remains
GA Pickin ‘An abandoned church, a haunting tune, a walker alone on the moor after dark... GA Pickin creates a wonderfully evocative and shivery new tale from a few classic ingredients’ Lisa Tuttle (13pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Sullom Hill
Christopher Kenworthy ‘Sharp, dark and poignant... belying its realist approach, Christopher Kenworthy’s tale of north country childhood resonates with an epic sense of latent magic’ Stephen Gallagher (15pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Field
Tom Fletcher ‘He builds up tension and dread meticulously, and to wonderfully grim effect. This is where I go for horror these days’ Paul Magrs (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Lexicon
Christopher Burns ‘Christopher Burns has wittily reimagined a primitive creature of myth, and turned him into a scholar and a gentleman. His appetites, however, remain as voracious as ever’ Patrick McGrath (17pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
The Beautiful Room
RB Russell ‘RB Russell’s poignant and fantastic story narrates how ordinary househunting can take us into the beautful room of our dreams and nightmares: the room where love is lost and found and lost’ Jennifer Clement (12pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
A Revelation of Cormorants
Mark Valentine ‘Lured into a dangerous no-man’s land, the protagonist goes to the edge of his known world and peers over the brink. Tense and beguiling, as odd and mysterious as the cormorant itself’ Stephen Gregory (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
Black Country
Joel Lane ‘Joel Lane writes about how the past is constructed by the future, how our self-debilitated environment echoes the things we have forgotten about; how this is both an individual and a social process. Uneasy, passionate, never bitter’ M John Harrison (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
When the Door Closed, It Was Dark
Alison Moore ‘Alison Moore tells a gripping story of sexual power and powerlessness, making audacious use of the economies peculiar to the short story form for her chilling climax’ James Lasdun (16pp) SOLD OUT more info |
|
