Unravelling the Modern Gothic with Claire Fuller & T.H. Huddleston

Praise for Hunger and Thirst by Claire Fuller

‘An absolute masterpiece. Utterly absorbing, genuinely unsettling …like all the most terrifying horror films of the 70’s and 80’s and all the most scary ghost stories’ ― Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

‘Such a propulsive book – but at the same time, such a deep examination of art and violence and the slipperiness at the heart of both memory and friendship. I was absolutely gripped by it’ ― Jenn Ashworth, author of Ghosted

Praise for The Cracks by T.H. Huddleston

‘A a refreshingly class-conscious creep-fest with a righteous energy. It’s Hell House meets Richard Hell; Burnt Offerings by way of the Buzzcocks.’ ― Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary

‘A biting satirical takedown of class privilege […] gives the haunted house novel a razor-sharp refurbishment.’ ― Leigh Radford, author of One Yellow Eye

Claire Fuller is an acclaimed novelist and short-story writer whose six novels have been translated into more than twenty languages. Her debut, Our Endless Numbered Days, won the Desmond Elliott Prize, while Unsettled Ground won the Costa Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction; her other much-loved books include Swimming Lessons, Bitter Orange, The Memory of Animals and her latest novel, Hunger and Thirst.
