A twisty puzzle in which the reader is the detective, examining a series of creepy floorplans for clues
'Deliciously unsettling and refreshingly unique, Strange Houses will lure you in and keep you captive with every clever twist' - Kristen Perrin, author of How to Solve Your Own Murder
A sinister hidden room.
A dead space between two walls.
A sealed cellar.
A child's face glimpsed at a window.
Every house hides secrets.
But some secrets are far darker than others.
More than a million readers have discovered the terrible truth behind these strange houses.
Now it's your turn.
PRAISE FOR UKETSU
'Part Rubik's Cube, part Russian doll, part kaleidoscope and altogether irresistible. Strange Pictures is heady, giddy, genre-blurring stuff and so fizzy with invention and possibility that I almost pity the next novel I read' - A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
'A superlative puzzle made of multiple parts that interconnect in unexpected ways, told inventively through pictures and text. Every twist and turn steepens the sense of foreboding. Original, intricate and deeply unsettling. I've never read anything like it' - Alex Pavesi, author of Eight Detectives
'Absolutely loved this clever little banger. An addictive murder mystery that unfolds like pointillism on the page: only when you reach the end, step back and view the bigger picture does each of its parts click into place. Exceptional!' - Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
'An intricately woven, at times unsettling, but always mesmerising piece of work' - Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants

    What happens beyond the end of time? 
    In Munderworld, time has become meaningless. With the world of po gone, there isn’t much for many to do beyond endure their existence. Though there is one person, a jester from a bygone age, who chooses to spend his time high in the mountains looking at the stars. 
    He and his friend, a small and chatty imp called Fiddle, decide on some antics to pass the time and end up angering a celestial entity. After barely escaping with their lives, Cynkz is given brief glimpses of an odd vision. Unsure of what to make of it, he decides it is a good enough reason as any to venture down through the depths of Munderworld and see if they can find an audience with the enigmatic Munder King–the lord of darkness, he who created Munderworld (and has not been seen or heard of for eons). 
    A simple, carefree decision to seek adventure soon turns into a series of growing perils as the dynamic duo meet many others just trying to get by. Cynkz’s own curiosities become entwined with the goals and wishes of others as his own resolve gets tested the further down they go.

    “Gish’s prose is as sharp as a scalpel.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
    		 
    “Grey Dog is a bewitching tale of the horrors of spinsterhood in the early 1900s, with madness and magic threaded through every sentence.” — Heather O’Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads and Lullabies for Little Criminals
    		 
    A subversive literary horror novel that disrupts the tropes of women’s historical fiction with delusions, wild beasts, and the uncontainable power of female rage
    		 
    The year is 1901, and Ada Byrd — spinster, schoolmarm, amateur naturalist — accepts a teaching post in isolated Lowry Bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets. She develops friendships with her neighbors, explores the woods with her students, and begins to see a future in this tiny farming community. Her past — riddled with grief and shame — has never seemed so far away.
    		 
    But then, Ada begins to witness strange and grisly phenomena: a swarm of dying crickets, a self-mutilating rabbit, a malformed faun. She soon believes that something old and beastly — which she calls Grey Dog — is behind these visceral offerings, which both beckon and repel her. As her confusion deepens, her grip on what is real, what is delusion, and what is traumatic memory loosens, and Ada takes on the wildness of the woods, behaving erratically and pushing her newfound friends away. In the end, she is left with one question: What is the real horror? The Grey Dog, the uncontainable power of female rage, or Ada herself?

    Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual. When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones. As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.
