BLOG TOUR AND GIVEAWAY: The Visitors Book by Sophie Hannah

The Visitors Book

by Sophie Hannah

on Tour November 1 - December 17, 2016

A collection of spine-tingling ghost stories from one of today's most acclaimed suspense novelists. In this small but perfectly formed collection of supernatural short stories, bestselling author, Sophie Hannah, takes the comforting scenes of everyday life and imbues them with a frisson of fear. Why is a young woman so unnerved by the presence of a visitors book in her boyfriend’s inner-city home? And whose spidery handwriting is it that fills the pages? Who is the strangely courteous boy still lingering at a child’s tenth birthday party when all the parents have gathered their children and left? And why does the presence of a perfectly ordinary woman in a post office queue leave another customer pallid and quaking with fear?

Review: There are four stories in this collection, as well as excerpts from two of the author's novels. My favorite story in this collection was "Justified True Belief,"  which I thought at the start had to do with a woman who was seeing ghosts....but I turned out to be wrong.

Again, all the stories are well written and suspenseful, with twists at the end.  Perfect for a quick afternoon read.

BLOG TOUR AND GIVEAWAY: The Fantastic Book Of Everybody's Secrets by Sophie Hannah

The Fantastic Book of Everybody's Secrets

by Sophie Hannah

on Tour November 1 - December 17, 2016

A collection of ingenious suspense stories from one of today's most acclaimed novelists in the genre. Everybody has their secrets, and in Sophie Hannah's fantastic stories the curtains positively twitch with them. Who, for instance, is the hooded figure hiding in the bushes outside a young man's house? Why does the same stranger keep appearing in the background of a family's holiday photographs? What makes a woman stand mesmerised by two children in a school playground, children she's never met but whose names she knows well? And which secret results in a former literary festival director sorting soiled laundry in a shabby hotel? All will be revealed…but at a cost. As Sophie Hannah uncovers the dark obsessions and strange longings behind the most ordinary relationships, life will never seem quite the same again.


Review: Although I have a few books by this author in my to be read pile, this is my first experience in actually reading something of hers. Now I can hardly wait to dive in to the others!

This is a book of short stories that will surprise you and catch you totally unaware. Each story seems to be innocent enough, until you discover someone's secret. Once that happens, you see everything through a different lens.

Each story is very well-written, as well as being suspenseful and thought-provoking. My favorite of the collection was "The Octopus Nest," which is very impressive. From the first sentence, you can feel the terror building....but you'll never see the final twist coming!

The only story which really disappointed me was "The Tub." I was not expecting to find a nearly pornographic story in this collection. If that's not your cup of tea, either, just skip on past it.
