The House

An everyday house in an ordinary housing estate, vulnerable children drawn by schoolboy fascination with a murder scene - these are the treacherously normal elements of Steven Sims' debut novel. Yet when Edward Player, in thrall to his sordid lust, brings schoolboy Danny into the House, two worlds collide and merge. Against a backdrop of urban Britain and a dimension darker than any dungeon, Stephen Sims weaves a startling and stunning tale of ordinary families challenged by forces of malice and mayhem. With the help of Mercherson, a man older and wiser than any man should be, they must win back to their homes through a manic odyssey of tears and terror, of demonism and daring. Against a race more ancient than the ages. Not for the queasy, this novel with the innocent title shows us daily lives thrown into an incredible pit of the pitiless - and the power of parental love.
