  Algernon Blackwood: The Man Who...

  A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, "The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason

  If you loved The Haunting of Hill House, welcome to Thistlecrook… 
  It’s 1923 and at Thistlecrook House, a forbidding home on the Scottish border, the roaring twenties seem not to have arrived. But Simon Christie has – a young man who can’t believe his luck when he gets a job cataloguing the infamous art collection of the Mordrake family. Yet from the moment he gets off the train at the deserted village station he can’t shift a headache and a sense that there’s more to the House and its gruesome selection of pictures. 
  Simon’s host is glad of his company, but he gets the feeling the house is not so welcoming. As his questions about the Mordrakes grow, he finds answers in surprising places. But someone is not pleased that old secrets are stirring. 
  As night falls each evening, and a growing sense of unease roils in the shifting shadows around him, Simon must decide what he can trust and ask if he can believe what he sees in the dusk or if his mind is poisoned by what has happened before in this place between lands, between light and dark. 
  In the historical and gothic setting of Thistlecrook House, Simon Christie finds himself entangled in a web of supernatural occurrences that challenge his sanity. The best of horror and thrillers, Mathew West's THE HOUSE OF FOOTSTEPS is a chilling exploration of the unseen and the unimaginable. 
  For fans of Margery Allingham (The Tiger in the Smoke), Jess Kidd (The Night Ship), Elizabeth Macneal (The Burial Plot), Rebecca Netley (The Black Feathers), and Susan Stokes-Chapman (Pandora).

  The shadows at Brannon House don't just watch . . . They remember. 
   
  When Billa feels eyes following her every move in her cottage on the edge of the estate, she dismisses it as paranoia—the lingering trauma of her kidnapping. But as the sensation intensifies, she reluctantly considers the one place she swore she'd never move into: the mansion. 
   
  Meanwhile, new mother Kenzi is harboring secrets that even she may not fully understand—memories hidden away by time, trauma . . . or something far darker. As she searches for her missing psychiatric files from Radley Institution, disturbing questions emerge. Was her time there longer than anyone has admitted? And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds? 
   
  When Billa's kidnapper resurfaces with more demands, the family's fragile peace shatters. Carol, the devoted auntie, grows increasingly protective of the newborn as strange occurrences plague the estate. 
   
  As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them. 
   
  Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?

  Just before Jack Goldstein and Jimmy Russell published their last book about Slenderman, 101 Amazing Slenderman Facts, they were both found dead in suspicious circumstances. The book was published in their memories. What was not known at the time however was that two packages were making their way through the Royal Mail service. One was from Jimmy and addressed to Jack, the other from Jack addressed to Jimmy. Both packages contained worrying documents detailing the history of Slenderman, and including some terrifying stories. 
   
  This grisly collection of documents is offered to the reader in the hope they can make some sense of the killings, as well as finding out further information regarding the slim being. 
   
  Proceed with caution.

  FEVER: I've laid down my plastic under-sheet but it doesn't stop the chill from leaching through my sleeping bag. At least it's sheltered here, the doorway set back from the pavement. My hat gapes on the ground, but the punters are in too much of a hurry to get home to stop and fish out their change.
