The most terrifying novel you´ll read this year...
Little Sister Death is the stunning ´lost´ horror novel of the late William Gay. Inspired by the famous 19th Century Bell Witch haunting of Tennessee, it follows the unravelling life of David Binder, a writer who moves his young family to a haunted farmstead to try and find inspiration for his faltering work.

Beautifully written and structured, Little Sister, Death is a loving and faithful addition to the field of classic horror writing, eschewing any notions of irony or post-modern tricks as it aims, instead, straight for your soul.
´A beautifully written, deeply unsettling haunted house story that lingers with the power of a half-remembered nightmare.´ JOHN CONNOLLY
