The Feast of All Souls - Tapa blanda

Alice’s house stands at a gateway between worlds. Now something has awoken on the other side - and she's in its way...

378 Collarmill Road looks like an ordinary house. But sometimes, the world outside the windows isn’t the one you expect to see. And sometimes you’ll turn around and find you’re not alone.

The suburb of Crawbeck, on a hill outside the English city of Manchester, overlooks the woodlands of Browton Vale. Alice Collier was happy here, once, but following the end of her marriage and loss of her daughter, she’s come back to pick up the threads of her life.

John Revell, an old flame of Alice’s, reluctantly comes to her aid when the house begins to reveal its secrets. The hill on which it sits is a place of legends – of Old Harry, the Beast of Crawbeck, of the Virgin of the Height and of the mysterious Red Man – and home to the secrets of the shadowy Arodias Thorne.

And now Alice and John stand between him and rest of our world...

"Among the most important writers of contemporary British horror," according to Horror legend Ramsay Campbell, Simon Bestwick is the author of Tide Of Souls, The Faceless, Hell’s Ditch and the serial novel Black Mountain, together with the story collections A Hazy Shade Of Winter, Pictures Of The Dark, Let’s Drink To The Dead and The Condemned. After having spent most of his life in Manchester, he now lives on the Wirral with a long-suffering girlfriend. When not writing, he goes for walks, watches movies, listens to music and does everything in his power to avoid having to get a proper job.
