Solace House: ‘The Secret History meets The Haunting of Hill House’

THE WILDEST TRIP YOU’LL TAKE THIS SUMMER…

‘Whoa. I think I just read my favourite book of the year. Maybe ever’
‘Utterly brilliant, a genre-defying masterpiece’
‘A future classic…it’s mind-blowing’

IN THE SUMMER OF 1993, broke student Alex Lane joins a team clearing out Solace House, a Victorian mansion bequeathed to the university by a reclusive hoarder called Flayne. The other students are a mixed bunch, but Alex quickly falls into a close friendship with the lively, redheaded Ella.

When the crew begins sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flayne’s journals, in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions as to how it might be reached.

As the students delve deeper into the house’s secrets, one of them becomes obsessed with deciphering Flayne’s strange opus and its promise of another world… and they may be willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to get there.
