Noah Turner's family are haunted by monsters that are all too real, strange creatures that visit them all: His bookish mother Margaret; Lovecraft-obsessed father Harry; eldest sister Sydney, born for the spotlight; the brilliant but awkward Eunice, a gifted writer and storyteller - the Turners each face their demons alone.   When his terminally-ill father becomes obsessed with the construction of an elaborate haunted house - the Wandering Dark - the family grant his last wish, creating themselves a legacy, and a new family business in their grief.

As the family falls apart, fighting demons of poverty, loss and sickness, the real monsters grow ever closer. Unbeknownst to them, Noah is being visited by a wolfish beast with glowing orange eyes. Noah is not the first of the Turners to meet the monster, but he is the first to let it into his room...","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306942837109,"sku":"9781789094114","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789094114_f8fe04a4-3047-409f-b1d6-c72db46ae89d.jpg?v=1786026995"},{"product_id":"9781803360973","title":"Alien: Perfect Organisms","description":"\u003cb\u003eSome years after the events of \u003ci\u003eAliens \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAlien 3\u003c\/i\u003e, an artist obsessed with the disturbing visceral potential of the xenomorphs is pursued to an abandoned colony. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA thrilling \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e novel from the much-celebrated Shaun Hamill, author of \u003ci\u003eA Cosmology of Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Dissonance\u003c\/i\u003e!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesperate, depressed and nearly destitute, Cynthia Goodwin goes against her better judgement to keep her ship the \u003ci\u003eChariot \u003c\/i\u003eand its crew in work: she agrees to meet with the reclusive billionaire Roman Fade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFade’s request is unorthodox: go to the abandoned colony of New Providence and bring back his former lover, the renowned artist Corinth Bloch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe job is rife with uncertainty.
