🎃 This Halloween, we're already thinking about next spring's nightmares...

Ghost House arrives this April, bringing a chilling blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense.

When three friends arrive at a remote island lodge, they expect one last adventure together. Instead, an unseen presence makes itself known and fear tightens its grip. 😨

As survival instincts take over, the question isn't what's in the house. It's who can you trust?

🫣 What scares an author?
Finding out the character he murdered refuses to stay dead. 📖

In Murdering Sherlock, Arthur Conan Doyle is haunted by family, villains and literary legends after "killing" Sherlock Holmes at Reichenbach Falls.

But when Sherlock himself arrives to plead his case, Doyle discovers that murdering the world's favourite detective may be much harder than he imagined.
