Summary
Valerie is only as sick as her secrets…
After the death of her hated grandmother, Valerie is, for the first time in her life, really free. The house belongs to her. She should be happy. But Valerie isn’t quite normal.
She’s taking in roommates to make ends meet, but, one by one, they keep ending up dead. Her young niece is crying out for a special kind of discipline that only she can provide. And there are the voices she hears...voices that want her to do terrible things.
Valerie is only trying to survive. If she stops doing what the voices tell her, something grotesquely evil will devour her soul....

“One of the best horror debuts I’ve come across in a long time…” (Douglas Clegg, author of Neverland)

AND ... I still don't know but I enjoyed the ride
Valerie clearly has some issues but is she insane? Or haunted? Or both? She has inherited her house from her Grandmother whom her cousin believes may have been ‘helped on her way’ by Valerie, her cousin is not very pleasant and her Grandmother may, or may not, have been just as unpleaseant, this is one of the mysteries of this story.
Valerie then takes in a lodger in the form of Gavin, and with him arrive some unpleasant nocturnal creatures that lurk around her house. They demand to be fed, constantly, fed human flesh, so the ghosts of her dearly departed tell her how to deal with this problem, in fact they pretty much nag her until she does deal with the problem.
It goes from here, the blurb tells you a lot of it, but it cannot convey the creepiness of this nineties horror story (I very much enjoy older style horror) some of this could be the style of the narrator who gives a marvellous performance in this production, she brings the characters, especially Valerie and Tamara, to life which made me care about what happened to them. It is very much a rollercoaster ride that leaves you wondering if the entire family is (or was) insane.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this to fans of old-school horror, I think you would enjoy it.
I received my copy free of charge in exchange for my unbiased review which I am delighted to have done above.

Very Disturbing But Unputdownable.
This is a very intense, disturbing listen. The atmosphere created is claustrophobic. It oozes horror as the plot twists and we become entwined in its grasp. Not for the faint of heart or squeamish. The writing has a light touch which emphasises the darkness. A narrator sympathetic with the characters adds to the immersive experience. This is a great novel and a wonderful listen.
