It’s Halloween Eve and in the home of the Price family, Mum has made a celebratory meal for her daughter’s release from rehab, Dad is locked in his study working and their young son is playing on his tablet. There’s a knock on the door and two strangers make it a night to remember. 

This a horror novella on the dangers of letting strangers into your home. This is home invasion gone insane and it is such a fun ride. Just when you think you know what’s happening it veers into something else. The dialogue is wonderfully darkly humorous, the fear very real and the outcome surprising. A great little snack of horror, perfect for a one sitting read.
