Summary

EITHER THERE’S A SERIAL KILLER LOOSE IN THUSSOCK, OR SOMETHING FAR WORSE
 
A dark and dirty horror novel from David Moody, author of HATER and AUTUMN
 
A spate of brutal murders rocks the small Scottish town of Thussock. The bodies of the dead are savagely mutilated and unspeakably defiled. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims.
 
Thussock is a close community – a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like this NEVER happen. People treat new arrivals with caution, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town.
 
Under suspicion and under threat, can Scott Griffiths uncover the bloody truth before it’s too late?
 
PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND STRANGERS:
 
“A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century… HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page…” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER
 
“STRANGERS is easily Moody’s best work to date, a dark, disturbing and visceral book that gives him a legitimate claim to the title of Britain’s Best Living Horror Author” —THIS IS HORROR
 
“In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.” —LONDON LITE
 
“Moody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.” —SHADOWLOCKED
 
"Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." —SCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE
Available since: 01/14/2012.
Print length: 577 pages.

    Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, Cursed Bunny is a genre-defying collection of short stories by Korean author Bora Chung. Blurring the lines between magical realism, horror, and science-fiction, Chung uses elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real horrors and cruelties of patriarchy and capitalism in modern society. Anton Hur's translation skilfully captures the way Chung's prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous.
