Nakata’s ghosts won’t stay dead…
A chambermaid’s seemingly innocent request is granted, an act of kindness that has dire consequences for a guest…
An unearthly light in an abandoned bungalow resolves the mystery of a missing child…
An invitation to a clifftop graveyard leads to a harrowing chase by things that remain unseen…
In an abandoned hotel, work is underway to upgrade the building but something is stalking the residents…
There is a hidden agenda to paranormal researcher Richard Nakata’s investigations into these houses. A commission that witnesses cattle lowing in the cow-sheds of Stack’s Farm long after they’ve been slaughtered, and a reckoning in the showhouse of 24 Glasshouse as he and his colleagues pay the price for creating their own ghost…
Simon Kurt Unsworth reinvents the classic English ghost story with a portmanteau collection that takes the haunted house genre and makes it scream… quietly.
The houses are quiet, it’s the residents who are screaming.
[Quiet Houses was previously published by Dark Continents in 2011.]
