How to survive a horror story - Mallory Arnold

A delightfully chilling debut for fans of twisting thrillers and classic, spooky horror.

Welcome to Queen Manor. If you survive...well, that will be quite a story to tell

***

Seven authors enter the manor.
Can they survive the story within?

When legendary horror author Mortimer Queen passes, a group of writers find themselves invited to the reading of his last will and testament, expecting a piece of his massive fortune. Each has their own unique connection to the literary icon; some known, some soon to be discovered. And they've been waiting for their chance to step into the author's shoes for some time.

Instead, they arrive at his grand manor and are invited to play a game. The rules are simple: solve the riddle and progress to the next room. If they don't, the manor will take one of them for itself.

You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of Mortimer's family, and as in any true horror story, the house is still very, very hungry

With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, How to Survive a Horror Story is a bright, biting thrill ride that begs the question: how do the best horror stories come to be?
