Brood

There's a house in every neighbourhood that no-one likes.

Elizabeth used to cross the road to avoid its long shadows.

Kim wakes from fevered, sweat-soaked nightmares if she finally sleeps.

That house is the focus of many tall tales.

But some friends can get away with murder to dispel a few ghost stories.

Some friends are strong enough to confront their darkest fears and put a few skeletons to bed.

Aren't they?

That house...it penetrates the soul!



"Smith carves out a nasty little piece of work - part Giallo, part fever dream and dark as sin." Laird Barron - author of SWIFT TO CHASE

"With BROOD, Smith's intense, transgressive narrative leaves the reader unable to find purchase as reality and horror slowly, subversively become one and the same." Dave Jeffery - author of A QUIET APOCALYPSE and CATHEDRAL
