Beskrivning

Longlisted for the 2026 Dylan Thomas prize Peer through the keyhole and what will you see? A mysterious dinner party with a sickening twist. A woman’s intense new relationship with a single father and his strangely shy daughter. The rediscovered journals of a famous artist with a singular obsession who disappeared in suspicious circumstances. A family driven to desperation by the impossible appearance of nonsensical notes. A seemingly happily married couple driven to the edge of despair by a neighbour’s crying baby. Set in houses that should provide protection but instead turn on their inhabitants, places of safety invaded without warning, and familiar landscapes that gradually change beyond recognition, Make a Home of Me is about all the ways in which our sanctuaries can turn into foreign places, casting us as strangers as we roam the halls. The stories in Make a Home of Me are unsettling and distinct, introducing a fresh new voice in the horror landscape. Lock up when you’re done...

"A bold new voice in contemporary horror" - London Review Bookshop "A compelling and brilliant collection. These stories stay with you. Vanessa Santos is an exciting voice." - Irenosen Okojie “Chilling, haunting and unflinching, Vanessa Santos is an astonishing writer and I’m utterly obsessed with this collection of unsettling short stories.” - Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamb "Santos writes with a subtlety and sparsity that ensures her stories stay with you long after reading." - Lauren Archer “A beautiful and skilful excavation of the haunted harbour that is home.” - Heather Parry, author of Carrion Crow "Santos’s prose is so coolly precise it makes my spine tingle; these are stories that glint with sinister magnetism." - Naomi Booth, author of Exit Management and Raw Content
