    Rosalie Parker runs the independent UK publishing house Tartarus Press with R. B. Russell. Her previous collections include The Old Knowledge (Swan River Press 2010) and Damage (PS Publishing 2016). "In the Garden" was selected for Best New Horror 21 (2010), and "Random Flight" for Best British Horror 2015. Rosalie lives in Coverdale, North Yorkshire, the magnificent landscape of which inspires and sometimes provides the settings for her writing.THE BRONZE STATUETTE: Hannah held the bronze statuette up to the light. It was small, fitting easily in her hand. She was pretty sure that it was the likeness of a classical god, and it was a fairly stan-dard representation, except for the eyes, the whites of which had been inlaid with ivory, while the pupils were little chips of verdigrised bronze.

    “Who put Ellen in the blackgum tree?”  
    Decades after trespassing children spotted the desiccated corpse wedged in the treetop, no one knows the answer.  
    Kate Thrush and her former college professor, Dr. Judith Kane, travel to Cinderwich, Tennessee, in hopes that maybe it was their Ellen: Katie’s lost aunt, Judith’s long-gone lover. But they’re not the only ones to have come here looking for closure. The people of Cinderwich, a town hardly more than a skeleton itself, are staunchly resistant to the outsiders’ questions about Ellen and her killer. And the deeper the two women dig—the more rot they unearth—the closer they come to exhuming the evil that lies, hungering, at the roots of Cinderwich.

    Three chilling novels of romantic suspense in one volume from a New York Times–bestselling author.  A twenty-year-old tragedy looms ominously in Death Is a Red Rose. Cressida Barclay rents a room in a large, decaying London house from an elderly woman whose dead daughter was also named Cressida. Does madness walk this house? Or a cold-blooded evil that could take her life, as well? In Listen to Danger, life brightens up for widowed actress and mother Harriet Lacey when Flynn Palmer, the man who was blinded in the same car crash that took her husband’s life, finds her a flat in his beautiful building. But when Harriet hires a new nanny, her nightmares begin anew. Brigit Templar Gaye believes a legendary family curse is responsible for the strange accident that causes her to lie helpless in her bed in the old Templar mansion in Night of the Letter. When her husband brings a stranger into the house, the voices start—terrifying, inhuman whispers that no one but Brigit can hear. Rich in character and atmosphere, these novels will hold you in their unsettling grip long after the last page is turned.
