Solace House by Will Maclean

THE WILDEST TRIP YOU'LL TAKE THIS SUMMER...

'Whoa. I think I just read my favourite book of the year. Maybe ever'
'Utterly brilliant, a genre-defying masterpiece'
'A future classic... mind-blowing'

IN THE SUMMER OF 1993, broke student Alex Lane joins a team clearing out Solace House, a Victorian mansion bequeathed to the university by a reclusive hoarder called Flayne. The other students are a mixed bunch, but Alex quickly falls into a close friendship with the lively, redheaded Ella.

When the crew begins sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flayne's journals, in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions as to how it might be reached.

As the students delve deeper into the house's secrets, one of them becomes obsessed with deciphering Flayne's strange opus and its promise of another world... and they may be willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to get there.

I adored itSecret History meets Haunting of Hill House meets cosmic horror... A beautifully crafted book - rich, thoughtful, terrifying. I can't wait for people to read it * Nick Binge, author of Dissolution *
Solace House is a sprawling, mind-bending, immersive mansion of a novel. Perfect for fans of David Mitchell and Ruth Ozeki, this is a definite must-read... and must re-read * Cailean Steed, author of Home *
There are moments of intense revelation in Solace House so vivid that I can still see them. This strange, surprising house is a hallucinatory delight * Aliya Whiteley, author of Skyward Inn *
Outstanding... Ideal for fans of Andrew Michael Hurley * Metro on Apparition Phase *
With moments of hallucinatory brilliance, this may be the perfect novel for our phantom present * Guardian on Apparition Phase *
