Sometimes, the walls remember.
Ten modern masters of the strange and unsettling reimagine the haunted house from the foundations up. A green Wibalin-backed hardback for the dark half of the year.
A house is more than just a place to lay your head at night.
Sometimes, the walls remember.
Gathering ten modern masters of the strange and unsettling, Unquiet Guests sets fire to the blueprints and reimagines the haunted house from the foundations up. From dreamlike visions of an abandoned future mansion to a sentient building grown tired of its owners, these rooms echo with whispers of the disenfranchised and the lost.
Featuring stories by Chuck Palahniuk, Grady Hendrix, Kirsty Logan, Will Maclean, Irenosen Okojie, Alison Moore, Matthew Holness, Claire Fuller, Clay McLeod Chapman and Ally Wilkes.
