No One Gets Out Alive
Set in a low-rent boarding house in contemporary England, this is a horror story told in two parts. The first part is a haunted house/human predator narrative, where a young woman has to fight for her survival in a house drenched in evil. It is harrowing and gory and a slow burn. The second half is folk horror, and the young woman must battle a truly creepy, eldritch horror that may be an ancient child sacrifice gone demonic or a fairy-like fertility goddess called Black Maggie. Don't let the page count fool you--this is a page turner and essentially two books in one. DO NOT read this at night!
