Middleshade Road
PALE HOUSE HAS AWOKEN
When Dair Lewis receives a call telling him of his estranged mother's death, he must travel back to his childhood home in the far north of Scotland. the sprawling and shadowy Pale House.
Drawn into a mystery regarding the circumstances of her passing, Lewis begins to suspect that something is terribly wrong with the house. A secret from the years after he left, and repressed traumatic experiences from earlier in his life, made his former home a place of dread and now the past has come alive within its walls.
As Lewis digs deeper, the house calls out to a damaged and twisted figure bent on murder, drawing a monster into its shifting, labyrinthine expanse. Trapped in a dark and living museum of his own worst memories, Lewis must fight to stay alive long enough to discover the truth about the house at the end of Middleshade Road.

I’ve been a fan of Matt’s writing for a while. This is a novel more akin to the darker themes of his short story writing than his previous techno-thriller novels.
I enjoyed the book immensely, finishing the last half in one sitting as the pace picked up towards the final denouement.
More please Matt.

Wonderful,dark and creative.
An engaging and intriguing story. Complex, dark, and full of suspense. A surprising tale with many twists,and on-edge moments. It reflects how dark scars of the past live on in the present, and need to skilfully excised.
