PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jonathan Sims is a writer, performer and games designer whose work primarily focuses on the macabre, the grotesque, and the gentle touch of creeping dread. He is the mind and the voice behind acclaimed horror podcast The Magnus Archives, high octane space-cabaret The Mechanisms and some of your favourite nightmares. He lives in Walthamstow with the two best cats and an overwhelming backlog of books that he really should get round to.
A very readable, very powerful novel which drew me in and didn't let go until the terrifying end * Damp Pebbles * A triumph, thriving on relatable fears, hyper-realistic dirty homes, and understandable grief. This novel has the momentum of a train with no breaks * The Fantasy Hive * A great Halloween read I found difficult to put down. A realistic setting, with likeable characters and some genuinely icky and creepy moments along the way * SFF World * Family Business is a story about keeping secrets and remembering loved ones, told in a plain, unfussy style whose groundedness makes the book's unfolding sense of dread all the more tangible * Financial Times * I can't put into words just how cleverly written Family Business is. It completely blew me away * FanFiAddict *
