How do you escape an entity who can manipulate time itself? Accompanied by his American girlfriend Beth, British ex-pat James Randal has come home to assess his father’s latest real estate venture. The house at Binsham Park is an enigma of patchwork architecture from various eras, nestled in the remote Herefordshire countryside. And it is haunted. The ghosts of Binsham Park have never harmed anyone before, and the chance to stay the weekend in a real life haunted house is too great to pass up. Having invited James’s old school friend Derek and his wife Chloe to join them, both couples prepare for two days of ghostly adventure and excitement. But something is waiting for them inside The Patchwork House. Something so powerful it can move pieces of the house back and forth through time at will. Something so malicious it will tear apart reality to isolate and torment its victims. Something so terrifying it will push James and his friends beyond the limits of sanity. When time yields to the will of something truly evil, you’re in for the longest night of your life…

Richard Salter has been writing for over 25 years, so you would imagine he’d be a lot better at it by now. His latest release is a collaboration with Steven Savile on a brand new thriller for the Ogmios Directive! Shining Ones features members of the team introduced in Savile's Silver on a new mission in South America. His debut novel, The Patchwork House, is a haunted house tale with a time travel twist! He is the editor of a Doctor Who anthology and the mosaic novel, World’s Collider, and co-editor of the charity anthology Fantasy For Good, which features some huge names in fantasy fiction and is raising money for The Colon Cancer Alliance. His short fiction appears in various anthologies including Solaris Rising: The New Solaris Book of Science Fiction, Warhammer: Gotrek & Felix the Anthology, Horror for Good and This is How You Die (Machine of Death 2). By day he works as a glorified project manager for a telecoms software vendor, and he lives with his wife and two young sons in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada.
