How much pressure might drive you to kill?

Explore the chilling depths of obsession and unravelling sanity in Beast In The Basement, a pulse-pounding British horror-thriller that will leave you gasping for breath.

In a secluded English country estate, a grieving author races against the clock to complete the riveting conclusion of the beloved Jade Nexus fantasy trilogy. But as whispers of the heroine's shocking fate spread like wildfire across social media, the frenzied anticipation spirals into an explosive cocktail of anger and desperation.

When a menacing intruder breaches the sanctuary of his writing haven, the author's mind becomes a twisted battleground between reality and illusion. As shadows dance at the corners of his vision and his grip on reality slips, you'll be on the edge of your seat, questioning every chilling twist and turn.

Meanwhile, the storm clouds gather both outside and within, threatening to consume all in their path. As the tempest rages, choices must be made -- choices that will determine who survives and who falls prey to the darkness.

With the eerie allure of Stephen King, the gripping tension of Joe Hill and the psychological depths of Gillian Flynn, Beast In The Basement will haunt your dreams and keep you awake long past bedtime. From the acclaimed author of The Last Days Of Jack Sparks comes a tale that shatters the boundaries of horror and thriller - one that delves deep into the recesses of the human psyche and leaves an indelible mark.

The beast is stirring, and the basement holds its secrets tight. Prepare to confront the darkness that lurks within us all.

PRAISE FOR BEAST IN THE BASEMENT:

"I reached a certain moment and wanted to stop and applaud my Kindle. On a tube train" - Sebastian Patrick, journalist and writer/editor of the official Red Dwarf site

"This is enormous spooky fun and reads like lightning!" - Jenny Colgan, best-selling author of The Little Shop Of Happy Ever After

"When the biggest turn in the story occurred, I actually exclaimed (out loud with great exuberance), "Holy ****, that is so ******* clever" - Mich Masoch, CHS REGIME

"This short sharp shock of weird horror cuts right to the quick. Writing about writers is tricky, but Arnopp handles it with beastly aplomb" - Chuck Wendig, best-selling author of the Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy.

"Arnopp snares his poor readers using inch-perfect plotting and compulsive suspense so that, once they're hooked, he can inflict his own dark brand of please-no horror on their unprepared psyches" - Watling Street author John Higgs

"The rarest of things, a story that manages to keep you guessing right up until the end. Arnopp obviously delights in messing with his readership's heads... I really can't get enough of writing like this" - Pablo Cheesecake, The Eloquent Page

"The suspense is palpable and almost cinematic at times, the descriptions of some scenes painting themselves on the mind's eye with HD clarity. This is a taut tale of the some of the worst excesses of human paranoia that will leave its mark on the reader long after they have finished the last page" - Chris Limb, The British Fantasy Society
