About The Book

Knives Out meets Ready or Not when a family gathering in an English mansion devolves into horror in a chilling novella from the “Master of British Sci-Fi” (Reactor)

Elena Mendes thought she understood what “old money” was.

She knew her boyfriend Ross Enderbough was rich. Like, “old money” rich. She knew he was the scion of some eccentric British line that predates the whole United States. She knew he didn’t really get on with his family, and that he fled to America to study free of their influence.

Ross has been summoned to Enderby, the family mansion built as a monastery centuries ago, for an exclusive, mysterious family gathering that happens only once a generation. Spouses and partners aren’t invited, but Ross has asked Elena to come anyway for moral support.

But there are secrets in the mouldering old pile, and terrors in the unkempt woods on the estate. And Elena slowly comes to realise that “old money” means so much more than she’d ever imagined…

“Enthralling, epic, immersive, and hugely intelligent.” —Stephen Baxter on The Final Architecture

“Adrian Tchaikovsky: king of the spiders, master worldbuilder, and asker of intriguing questions.

One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction.” —Christopher Paolini on The Final Architecture

“A major work of modern fantasy.” Locus on Pretenders to the Throne of God

“A masterclass in concise storytelling . . . The book whips along at a rapid pace and characters are cleverly rendered. A fantastically easy read.” SciFiNow on Firewalkers

“Tchaikovsky focuses the taut story in such a way that every detail is relevant, building towards a climax that feels like a perfect pay-off.” SFX on Firewalkers

“A fast-paced, thrilling story for fans of science fiction with a dash of horror, where the one percent are shown to be the true villains, and the old saying “If you can’t beat them, join them” becomes more than rhetorical.” Library Journal, starred review
