'Where is Evelyn? Oh, I remember. She took our eyes.'
New Year's Day, 1921. Seven mutilated bodies are discovered in an ancient stone circle on a remote Scottish island. The victims are 'the Children' - members of a nature cult ruled by the charismatic, sadistic patriarch, the adder.
The sole survivor of the massacre, Dinah, claims that Eve is the murderer, apparently drowned while attempting her escape. Yet as Eve's story of the years leading up the massacre intertwines with Dinah's account of the aftermath, a darker, stranger truth begins to emerge.
The Isle is all Eve knows. Hidden from the world, the Children worship the Great Snake who dwells in the ocean, dance in the stones at dawn and offer their blood in sacrifice. The adder's word is law. When Eve is forced into the world beyond the Isle her faith and love are tested by unexpected friendships that make her question everything. As she begins to see through the adder's macabre fictions, the world Eve knows collapses. Does she lose her humanity with her belief? Does it drive her to kill?

Her father was always a cold and distant man, and as dementia took hold of him in final months of his life he grew more and more paranoid. Laurie soon discovers that he has left the house in a terrible state: pages are torn from books on the shelves, floorboards have been cracked and gouged and holes punched in the walls. The belvedere at the top of the house, the place from which her father leapt to his death, is locked, and the imposing greenhouse in the woods-the one that sends a shiver through her when she sees it again-is somehow still standing. And then her daughter introduces her to her new friend Abigail, a friend who seems to remind Laurie so much of another little girl, one who should be dead. Because the house has long held secrets for Laurie, things she has tried to bury ever since she was young and now it seems they are coming to the surface. Lees meer

A statistics professor tries to survive a series of gruesome and impossibly unlikely disasters linked to a supernaturally lucky Vegas casino, while dealing with her own erasure as a bisexual, in this chilling and quick-witted horror novel. What’s happening in Vegas isn’t staying there... Four years ago, an unthinkable disaster occurred—the Low-Probability Event.

A day that proved anything is possible, no matter the odds. Vera, a former statistics and probability professor, lost everything that day, and she still struggles to make sense of the unbelievable catastrophe. To her, God is dead, and nothing matters anymore.

And offers Vera one last chance to make sense of an unlikely world. Lees meer
