Book Description
Little Isabella Burnside is fading away, and no matter how many specialists her mother takes her to, they can’t pinpoint the problem. Her twin brother, Jack—once open and gregarious—can now barely communicate. Nobody knows what is wrong with the Burnside twins. They keep talking about ghosts, but their mother will have none of it. "It’s just your imagination," she tells them: "just bad dreams." Isabella's father, desperate to help his children, calls in Lincoln Sweeney and his partner Katie Dyer, paranormal investigators, to see if there is any basis for his children’s nightmares. His wife Helena, intent on climbing the social ladder now that they’re in their expensive house-with-a-history, is furious: she can see her dreams dissolving before her eyes. Then disaster strikes. Lincoln disappears, and his twin, Tara, senses immediately that something unspeakable has happened to him. She races through the night to where he was last seen, and she and his partner Katie set about trying to unravel the mystery. Where is Lincoln? Is he on this plane or the next? Is it really a vengeful ghost that has enticed him to a fate worse than death—or is he really dead? Blocked at every turn by Helena Burnside, battling to find out the truth, Tara and Katie doggedly keep following the clues until they realise, with horror, just what they are facing.

Book Description
A house with a dark secret. A grieving daughter determined to carry out her parents’ last wishes. A grandmother with something to hide… Chloe Thomas brushes aside her grandmother’s pleas that she stay away from Truscott House, and moves in with her friend Emily to finish the project her parents had begun before their death—the renovation of a property that had been in the family for a century. Sure: she knows that the locals say it’s haunted. She brushes that aside; kids will be kids, and so-called haunted houses are practically a rite of childhood, aren’t they? But it isn’t long before Chloe has to eat her words, and admit that something doesn’t seem want them there—but who? Or what? And why? Growing increasingly afraid, she has to dig deep to find the courage to continue, with a terrified friend begging her to leave and as the truth about her grandmother’s childhood is revealed. Does she have what it takes to see this out, risking another terrible loss for her grandmother? Or is it possible to reverse the ill fortune of decades, and make Truscott House a happy home once more? She calls in the help of a ghost-hunter, and only then does she understand the strength of the unquiet spirit in her home—and that there are other innocents who have much at stake.

Book Description
It started as a joke: a couple of backpackers upload a YouTube video about their stay in a supposedly haunted house… But then, things turn bad. Dylan Lee, with a major in film, is documenting his backpacking holiday with his friend Amy in a series of YouTube videos. Their trip is fairly uneventful, and only a handful of friends are following their adventures… until their car breaks down and they accept an offer of a few week’s accommodation in an old gamekeeper’s cottage in the grounds of Moreton Manor. Dylan suggests that they do a tour of the decrepit old cottage and ham up the suspense for YouTube. They upload it and go to sleep…only to be woken in the night by an unearthly scream. It’s probably a fox, Amy tells viewers. But when someone spots a strange column of light picked up by the camera, their friends share the video… and it goes viral. Warnings to leave pepper the comments from locals, but others gleefully urge them to stay. As the days go on, and the ghost becomes more vengeful, Amy’s fear grows. She wants to leave, but with millions of eyes on his nightly YouTube updates, Dylan is certain that this will make his career. He’s staying, no matter what.

This is the first book to focus on masculinity in Samuel Beckett's work as a way to understand his historical and national context, the difficulty of reading and interpreting his texts, and his ruthless disintegration of sexual and gendered norms throughout his oeuvre.
