Home Sick

A troubled woman seeking a fresh start in the Scottish countryside believes her neighbour may be behind the strange disturbances in her home in this psychological horror debut for fans of The Lamb and We Used to Live Here.

“The symmetry should have tipped me off.”

After a violent incident at work, Tamsin goes looking for a fresh start in a remote cottage far away from her old life. Here she could make real friends, find a job she loves, become a whole new person, even.

But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall separating her from a total stranger. Her neighbour is an enigma. Dowdy one moment, vivacious the next, but always wearing an unnerving smile. Tamsin can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong with her, especially when she starts experiencing disturbances in her own home.

As the locals share strange stories about her house, and her barely contained paranoia spirals out of control, Tamsin begins to suspect that the past she was so desperate to escape might never let her go.

“Masterful … a wild spiral of madness and magic, and the brutal truth of our darkest shadows.”—Megan Bontrager, author of The Sea Hides Its Dead
