And The House Lights Dim by Tim Major

And The House Lights Dim by Tim Major

Strange stories about houses, homes and families

A sentient house is overprotective of its occupants, a husband and wife cope with loneliness on a lengthy space flight, a Greenland shark mounts a supernatural attack on a mother and son, two sisters live in fear of the destroyed world beyond their walls, an engineer sabotages a post-apocalyptic holiday village, a camping trip turns a family feral, a man defragments his mind and another splices a rival's brain patterns onto his own.

Includes the novella Carus & Mitch.

More The Road than The Hunger Games, blending a John Wyndham-esque melancholy with a dose of existential despair, Carus & Mitch is a compelling, unconventional page-turner. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down until I reached the end. Lynda Rucker

Carus & Mitch is punchy and scary and tense and genuinely moving. The central portrait of the book's sibling relationship captures its mixture of friction and love spot on, with heartbreaking precision. Tim Major is an exceptional writer. Adam Roberts
