|author=Richard KadreyMax Boucherat|title=The Pale House DevilLast Life of Lori Mills|rating=4|genre=Horror|summary=Ford and Neuland are a couple of, well, guys for hire I guess, though really the way I thought of them through the book was as a couple of strange detectives! One of them is living, you see, and the other is undead, and so one of them kills the living, and the other kills the undead. (Only not each other, obviously). They're on a job in New York that goes badly, and so they head out to the West coast to try to lay low for a while and find some other work to keep them going. But when a young woman called Tilda hires them to kill the 'something' that appears to be haunting a wealthy gentleman's house they find themselves uncovering a whole lot of family history, and a terrifyingly powerful creature that they've never come across before!|isbn=1803363894}}=='''17 OCTOBER'''=={{Frontpage|author=V Castro|title=The Haunting of Alejandra|rating=3.5|genre=Horror|summary=''This was a part of her past that had to stop with her.
