Let Angela tell you all about The Cold House and then pick up a copy of this creepy, chilling, twisty-turny book. ❤️👀
Happy bookthday to The Cold House! Have a wee vid and some messy hair that'll drive my mother mad!

A twisty turny story of lies, love, isolated (second) locations, and folk horror.
