House of Small Shadows

They watch as you sleep . . .

House of Small Shadows is a compulsive and utterly chilling horror from the award-winning author of The Ritual, Adam Nevill.

‘A gloriously gruesome fever dream’ – SFX

The Red House: home to the late M. H. Mason, master taxidermist and puppeteer, where he lived and created some of his most disturbing works.

Catherine Howard can’t believe her luck when she’s invited to value the contents of the house. When she first sees the elaborate displays of preserved animals and macabre puppets, she’s both thrilled and terrified. It’s an opportunity to die for.

But the Red House has secrets. At night the building comes alive with noises and movements: footsteps, and the fleeting glimpses of small shadows on the stairs. And soon the barriers between reality, sanity and nightmare begin to collapse . . .

‘Adam Nevill is a fantastic storyteller, a master of slow-building tension, and he’s written a fever dream of a book. House of Small Shadows is chilling, disorienting and deeply creepy’ – Scott Smith, author of The Ruins
