![]() ![]() Memories of that night torment her mind and her flesh, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, past the KEEP OUT sign, over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, she knows she must go. ![]() She hasn’t spoken to Ila since they went into the House. Alice is living a haunted existence, selling videos of herself cleaning for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. Since then, things have not been going well. Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends Ila and Hannah. ![]() But come morning, you thank it for what it has done for you, and you sip from its golden cup, and kiss its perfect feet, and you know that all will be right in this godforsaken world as long as it is there to watch over you. Those same arteries tangle you up and night and make it hard for you to breathe. Its lifeblood flows into Westminster, into Scotland Yard, into every village and every city. A dark, unflinching haunted house novel that takes readers from the well of the literary gothic, up through Brighton’s queer scene, and out into the heart of modern day trans experience in the UK. ![]()
