Beschrijving:
A chilling Hammer novella by the Booker Prize-winning author of }Vernon God Little{. A promising young academic en route from the USA stops over at a faded, lonely guesthouse on the Essex coast, and soon realises that he has become caught in an insidious web of one family's secrets and lies. 'A thoroughly modern nightmare...' }The Times

The setting: a faded, lonely guesthouse on the Essex coast. Outside, it's dark, and very foggy. Inside there's no phone or internet reception, no connection with the outside world.

Enter Ariel Panek, a promising young academic en route from the USA to an important convention in Amsterdam. With his plane grounded by fog at Stanstead, he has been booked in for the night at the guesthouse. Discombobulated and jetlagged, he falls in with a family who appear to be commemorating an event.

But this is no ordinary celebration. And this is no ordinary family.

As evening becomes night, Panek realises that he has become caught in an insidious web of other people's secrets and lies, a Sartrian hell from which for him there may be no escape.
