There is a place to empty yourself of your grief, your memories and your fears.

Nede.

A health retreat.
A rehabilitation centre.
A chance to begin again...

Marianne is grieving. Still reeling from the loss of her sister, she wakes up one day to discover a thick, black hair protruding from her spine. Forced to admit that she isn’t coping, Marianne accepts the offer of a quiet recovery at Nede, a remote health retreat in the Welsh countryside. But all is not as it seems at Nede, and Marianne feels herself starting to lose control...

Secrets and revenge converge in this chilling tale from a breakout new Latin American voice 🕷️

Many years have passed since Lucas was expelled from his childhood home by Felisberto and Eloy, the two men who arrived uninvited and slowly, insidiously, made it their own. Now Lucas is back, fully grown and intent on claiming his rightful inheritance. 🕷️

But he is not interested in the house as it once was. Lucas belongs to a darker world, one crawling with the only creatures he really trusts: insects. As the house crumbles before his eyes, Lucas turns to the allies of his underground kingdom to help him take revenge. 🕷️

Weaving together past and present like a spider's web, This World Does Not Belong to Us is a spine-tingling story of human greed, from a masterful new literary voice. 🕷️
