📚 Book review 📚This book had me leaving lights on and spooked by any noise I heard. It’s part psychological thriller, part horror, part mystery, and all fantastically good. The world-building in this story was amazing - I felt like I was in Solace house with the characters. The characters were skillfully developed and completely unique. The way Maclean wove in details that, at the time, seemed like just part of the story but were actually pivotal moments in the plot was masterful. I had no idea how this story would end, as lost as the characters when they ate the mushrooms, and I loved every page. #arcreader #arc #bookreviewer #arcreview #scary

Was on the Wirral at the weekend, to visit the excellent West Kirby Books, and took the opportunity to walk across the vast empty beach, to the shores of the Dee, by Hilbre Island. It is so beautiful there. I do love how quietly epic it is.

Only one week to go! Join me, Will Maclean and Lucie McKnight Hardy at Waterstones Islington next Tuesday, for a discussion of all things strange and spooky. Solace House and Night Babies are both fantastic, so I strongly recommend picking up copies while you're there! Ticket link below.

I think Solace House might be the most disturbing book I've read in the last ten years. Even more than The Cipher by Kathe Koja. I mean I am going to read What If Reform Wins next so the record may soon be broken of course...

"immensely fun gothic horror with a psychedelic twist" @guardian

A very happy publication day to Will Maclean! The wonderfully weird and uncanny SOLACE HOUSE is out today from @atlanticbooks

Congratulations Will!

In the Summer of 1993, broke student Alex Lane joins a team clearing out Solace House, a Victorian mansion bequeathed to the university by a reclusive hoarder called Flayne. The other students are a mixed bunch, but Alex quickly falls into a close friendship with the lively, redheaded Ella.

When the crew begins sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flayne's journals, in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions as to how it might be reached.

As the students delve deeper into the house's secrets, one of them becomes obsessed with deciphering Flayne's strange opus and its promise of another world... and they may be willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to get there.
