Quiet Houses by Simon Kurt Unsworth

Quiet Houses by Simon Kurt Unsworth

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.

Unsworth, Simon Kurt: - Simon Kurt Unsworth is the author of two novels, The Devil's Detective and The Devil's Evidence, and three collections of stories, Strange Gateways, Quiet Houses and Lost Places. He was born in Manchester in 1972 and has not yet given searching for evidence that the world was awash with mysterious signs and portents that day, but now lives in Cumbria where it has rained almost every day since his arrival, and somewhere in the midst of the mud and the damp and the sheep he writes whatever comes into his head.
