The Cellar - Hardcover
The terrifying new Hammer novella by Minette Walters, bestselling author of The Sculptress and The Scold's Bridle
‘Muna’s fortunes changed for the better on the day that Mr and Mrs Songoli’s younger son failed to come home from school.’
Before then her bedroom was a dark windowless cellar, her activities confined to cooking and cleaning. She’d grown used to being maltreated by the Songoli family; to being a slave.
She’s never been outside, doesn’t know how to read or write, and cannot speak English.
At least that’s what the Songolis believe.
But Muna is far cleverer - and her plans more terrifying - than the Songolis, or anyone else, can ever imagine ...

Review:
"This compact and extraordinarily atmospheric story packs much more than many longer books." (The Guardian)
"It has been a while since Minette Walters published any full length fiction, but admirers won’t be disappointed by The Cellar... this compact, well-told and extraordinarily atmospheric story packs more punch than many much longer books" (Guardian)
"This compact, well-told and extraordinarily atmospheric story packs more punch than many much longer books." (The Guardian)
"This dark novella reads like a particularly grim Grimm's Fairy Tale, with an all-too-credible contemporary setting." (Daily Mail)
"Walters is adept at fashioning modern psychopaths, and she's done a great job here. The Cellar is gratifyingly menacing and, like all good fables, it carries a strong warning - monsters are made, not born." (Daily Mail)
