Dream Home

From Phil Trum, the author of the stunning coming-of-age saga 'My Circus, My Monkeys', comes a novel of a girl possessed of a terrifying power, a story of a town possessed of unspeakable evil, a tale of a toaster possessed of horrifying horror. From a master storyteller, a fabulous teller of stories, a fantastic person who communicates made-up stuff, comes 'Dream Home', the first (and possibly the last) Over Plumley story. 'Dream Home' centres on the life of Tom Harper, an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. His family accompanies him on this job… no, wait… that's not it. Tom Harper, a hospital doctor without major character flaws, and his family move into Greystones, a crumbling old house in rural Cheshire. After some initial teething problems, life in Greystones seems idyllic. Soon, there's a new addition to the family, but it transpires that he isn't quite what he seems. Or is he? After much horror and hilarity – involving nightmares, haircuts, fancy-dress parties, demonic teddy bears, shopping trips and holidays in Florida – Tom and Helen Harper must confront their worst fears as unspeakable evil from the past threatens their family and the very fabric of time itself. Well, OK, maybe not the fabric of time itself, but the rest of it. "I have seen the future of horror... and his name is Phil Trum" Stephen Knig "The most horrible book published this year! Stomach-churning, heart-wrenching, teeth-rattling terror at its very best!" The Manchester International Daily Tribune "Obviously a masterpiece, probably the best supernatural novel in a hundred years." Peter Strawb "Trum at his best... a winner!" The Over Plumley Gazette It's entirely conceivable that in some alternate reality this could soon be a major motion picture. You'll float too.
