And finally, a writer that I am absolutely overjoyed to have in the store. Rob Shearman is one of the finest writers of creepy short fiction ever. Here we have a selection of some of his best, plus 10 entirely new stories. The book is a nominee for the Shirley Jackson Awards. And yes, Rob did write “Dalek” for Doctor Who, and the book does have rave plugs from Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.

Possibly the scariest thing about it is the number of reviews that say how funny it is. I’m sure they are right, but that just makes it much worse when you turn the page and, oops, something dreadful happens. Remember Why You Fear Me, says Rob. Oh dear me yes, I do.
