- Book Synopsis
- 'A five-star read that's intelligent, accomplished and exciting. I dare you to put it down.' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal The dark, atmospheric, feminist offspring of Squid Game, The Hunting Party and Misery A book deal to die for. Five attendees are selected for a month-long writing retreat at the remote estate of Roza Vallo, the controversial high priestess of feminist horror. Alex, a struggling writer, is thrilled. Upon arrival, they discover they must complete an entire novel from scratch, and the best one will receive a seven-figure publishing deal. Alex's long-extinguished dream now seems within reach. But then the women begin to die. Trapped, terrified yet still desperately writing, it is clear there is more than a publishing deal at stake at Blackbriar Estate. Alex must confront her own demons - and finish her novel - to save herself. This unhinged, propulsive, claustrophobic closed-door thriller will pull you in and spit you out…
