Peer through the keyhole and what will you see?A mysterious dinner party with a sickening twist.
A woman’s intense new relationship with a single father and his strangely shy daughter.
The rediscovered journals of a famous artist with a singular obsession who disappeared in suspicious circumstances.
A family driven to desperation by the impossible appearance of nonsensical notes.
A seemingly happily married couple driven to the edge of despair by a neighbour’s crying baby. Set in houses that should provide protection but instead turn on their inhabitants, places of safety invaded without warning, and familiar landscapes that gradually change beyond recognition, Make a Home of Me is about all the ways in which our sanctuaries can turn into foreign places, casting us as strangers as we roam the halls. The storied in Make a Home of Me are unsettling and distinct, introducing a fresh new voice in the horror landscape.
MY REVIEW
I love finding new authors to follow. MAKE A HOME OF ME is written by a fabulous new voice in fiction Vanessa Santos.
Make A Home Of Me is Vanessa Santos debut book, That is full of amazing page-turning short stories, that I highly recommend fiction and crime lovers to read.
My favourite short story was Emily.
She is a mute, disturbed, 10-year-old girl, that sent a chill down my spine. Her, father Ryan, moves his girlfriend in their home. After Ryan has to go away from home, his girl friend will come into some creepy situations with Emily.
This book is one not to be missed, and is on sale on Amazon UK.
