  Like a piece of wisdom passed down through generations which no one questioned or even thought about too hard, it was just something everyone knew, a rule to be followed. 
  Don’t go to Almanby. 
   
  Heather, Rachel and Antonia are going to Almanby. 
   
  Heather needs to find her boyfriend who, like so many, went and never came back. 
   
  Rachel has a mysterious package to deliver, and her life depends on it. 
   
  And Antonia – poor, lovestruck Antonia – just wants to spend the day with Heather. 
   
  Off they set through the idyllic yet perilous English countryside, in which nature thrives in abundance and summer lasts forever.  The further they travel through ever-shifting geography and strange voices from the radio, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. 
   
  Creepy, dreamlike, unsettling and unforgettable - you are about to join the privileged few who come to understand exactly why we don't go to Almanby. 
   
  “A surprising folk horror about everyday encounters with the incredible. Vulnerable, rooted characters come of age in a hazy, hypnotic book that reflects contemporary Britain through a distorted lens.” Kevin Power, Dr Will Smith & Zoe West – 2024 Nero Fiction Award judges

  In The Middle Toe of the Right Foot, Ambrose Bierce weaves a chilling and unsettling tale where the ordinary becomes terrifyingly abnormal. The story explores the curious intersection of fate and superstition, as a simple injury leads to an unnerving series of events. With his signature blend of dark humor and gothic sensibility, Bierce crafts a narrative that challenges the reader's understanding of reality, turning the most mundane of circumstances into a source of dread.
  Through his mastery of suspense, Bierce creates an atmosphere where the lines between rational thought and irrational fear blur. The middle toe of the right foot, seemingly a trivial detail, becomes a symbol of psychological unease, embodying the fragility of the human mind and its susceptibility to the irrational.

  This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
  I am beyond life, 
  I am beyond strife, 
  I am long beyond my last breath, 
  I'm among the angelic host, 
  some call me a ghost, 
  I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
  I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
  as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

  A widowed writer begins to work on a biography of a novelist and artist—and soon uncovers bizarre parallels between her life and her subject's—in this chilling and singularly strange novella by a contemporary master of horror and fantasy. 
   
   
   
  The narrator of Lisa Tuttle's uncanny novella is a recent widow, a writer adrift. Not only has she lost her husband, but her muse seems to have deserted her altogether. Her agent summons her to Edinburgh to discuss her next book. What will she tell him? At once the answer comes to her: she will write the biography of Helen Ralston, best known, if at all, as the subject of W.E. Logan's much-reproduced painting Circe, and the inspiration for his classic children's book, Hermine in Cloud-Land. 
   
   
   
  But Ralston was a novelist and artist in her own right, though her writing is no longer in print and her most radical painting, My Death, deemed too unsettling—malevolent even—to be shown in public. Over the months that follow, Ralston proves an astonishingly cooperative subject, even as her biographer uncovers eerie resonances between the older woman's history and her own. Whose biography is she writing—really?
