Because each of these authors has something to hide, and Mortimer, even from the grave, always delivers the best story. Only this time, his manor will help.You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of the family, and the house is still very, very hungry.With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone with the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, HOW TO SURVIVE A HORROR STORY is a bright, biting, thrill-ride that begs us to contemplate how the best horror stories come to be.
