  IT KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE...

  Imagine a place where all your nightmares become real. Dark urban streets where crime, debt and violence are not the only things to fear. Picture a housing project that is a gateway to somewhere else; a realm where ghosts and monsters stir hungrily in the shadows. Welcome to the Concrete Grove.

  This deprived area is Hailey’s new home, but when an ancient entity notices her, it becomes something much more threatening. She is the only one who can help her mother as she joins in a dangerous dance with loanshark Monty Bright. Only Hailey can see the truth of Tom’s darkest desires as he tries to become part of their family. And only Hailey can lead them all to the heart of the estate where something older than this land stirs and begins to wake...

  ‘The Concrete Grove is McMahon’s most accomplished work to date. A compelling novel of extremes.’

  Mark Morris, author of The Deluge

  ‘There’s a new wave of brilliant horror writers, and McMahon’s right there at the top of them.’

  Andy Remic, author of Kell’s Legend

  ‘McMahon’s visionary sense of the supernatural makes The Concrete Grove one exciting read.’

  Steve Rasnic Tem, co-author of The Man on The Ceiling

  THIS IS THE HOTEL WHERE OUR NIGHTMARES GO...

  It’s where horrors come to be themselves, and the dead pause to rest between worlds. Recently widowed and unemployed, Richard Carter finds a new job, and a new life for him and his daughter Serena, as manager of the mysterious Deadfall Hotel. Jacob Ascher, the caretaker, is there to show Richard the ropes, and to tell him the many rules and traditions, but from the beginning, their new world haunts and transforms them.

  It’s a terrible place. As the seasons pass, the supernatural and the sublime become a part of life, as routine as a morning cup of coffee, but it’s not safe, by any means. Deadfall Hotel is where Richard and Serena will rebuild the life that was taken from them... if it doesn’t kill them first.

  ‘Tem’s Deadfall Hotel makes The Shining’s Overlook Hotel look like Butlins. Eerie, disturbing and yet strangely touching, you’ll check in but may never check out.’

  Christopher Fowler, bestselling author of the Bryant and May Mysteries and Hell Train

  ‘Rasnic Tem is at the height of his powers with this effort.’
