{"product_id":"9781784633288","title":"The Anechoic Chamber : and Other Weird Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Funny, chilling, intriguing: each tale offers something different from the last, and the overall result is like listening to a perfectly made album.’ —Mark WatsonAn anechoic chamber is a soundproofed room with no echo. The profound silence it produces is disturbing enough. But listen carefully and you’ll hear something worse … In this new collection of uncanny short stories, award-winning author Will Wiles finds sinister creatures and subtle nightmares in mundane modern environments and bureaucracy. A cursed NHS file brings doom to whoever handles it. A memory-foam mattress breaks down the walls of sleep. A marketing executive for a property developer turns to the occult. And horror seeps from the most unexpected places: eBay purchases, boxes of holiday photographs, and the hidden corners of the smart TV menu. While mostly modern in setting, this is a collection steeped in the tradition of the weird tale and the ghost story, and includes homages to the greats of the previous century: a doomed Edwardian antiquarian is drawn into a murderous plot involving a Roman mosaic, and river boatmen uncover eldritch terror in a deserted mining town. You’ll never look at some things the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52915766559054,"sku":"9781784633288","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781784633288_a28d1377-24c0-4533-b161-f0836e6c1c42.jpg?v=1753218596","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781784633288","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
