Populair-wetenschappelijk boek over de psychologische achtergrond van complotdenken, een fenomeen dat het nieuws en ons leven de afgelopen jaren leek te beheersen.
Hobbe’s Folly is a deeply unsettling tale of ghostly estates and other dimensions from the author of Haunted Tales, Adam Macqueen.
1904: Naive bookseller's assistant Henry Canning arrives at Hareswood Lodge to catalogue the library of its late owner. But he's unprepared for the horrors that lurk within Matthew Hobbe's collection – and something even more terrible that still lingers in the room itself.
The present day, and a young council officer is tasked with finding the story behind an unassuming brick building that is all that stands in the way of a vast new housing development. But to the concern of his colleagues, Ben finds himself growing more and more obsessed with the secret of Hobbe's Folly. Why does it have no doors or windows? Is it to keep people out? Or to keep something too awful to imagine trapped inside?
Adam Macqueen's Haunted Tales were a collection of short stories whose chills lingered long in the imagination. Now, in his first full-length ghost story, he channels the masters of the genre both old and new in two intertwined narratives that build into a horrifying whole – and will ensure readers never look at the view beyond their windows in quite the same way ever again.
