He belonged in Hell, but lived next door!

While struggling to cope with the emotional and physical impact of being diagnosed with a crippling autoimmune disease, single mother Sophie Harrington finds herself haunted by an unexpected tormentor from her past: her old neighbour Ronnie Cribbins.

Cribbins has been dead for the past fifteen years and Sophie is faced with the possibility that his malevolent spirit could be the cause of her autoimmunity, because she can feel him attacking her senses from within.

Amidst her relentless struggle, Sophie seeks solace and assistance from her new neighbour, Piotr Kaminski-a troubled younger man with a dark past. Together, they embark on a perilous journey into Sophie's forgotten childhood, to unearth a secret she never realised she had concealed.

Sophie's path to salvation lies in facing the chilling reality of her connection to Cribbins, defying the darkness threatening to consume her and her young daughter, before they are forever engulfed in his cold, black, putrid domain.

Will Sophie find the strength to conquer her own demons and free herself from Cribbins' haunting grip, or will their souls forever be lost in a realm where anguish and sickness reign supreme?

EDITORIAL REVIEWS:

"Human and ghostly monsters terrify in R. H. Dixon's Cribbins, a well-written and effective novel of repressed memory and psychological torment." - Josh Hancock (author of The Girls of October), Morbidly Beautiful "A novel of subtle, creeping-in-on-cat-feet, psychological and supernatural horror, as only the British can manage. Understated but massively implacable, much like a silent juggernaut bearing inevitably down on one, sight unseen, sound unheard." - The Haunted Reading Room "I found this to be an exciting new take on the way someone could be haunted. Dixon did an excellent job of maintaining the suspense throughout the entire novel, and of weaving in little snippets of the past to keep the reader constantly thinking about how everything would end up connecting in the big picture. The book captivated my attention from beginning to end, taking me mentally to places I would have never wished to go. Highly recommended." - Horror After Dark Reviews "The story built up slowly, helping you understand how serious the situation was. It was full of tension and suspense which enabled me to read it in one sitting. There was times that I was holding my breath wandering what would happen to Sophie when Cribbins visited her. This was my first read by this author and I would recommend her to my friends who love a good ghost story." - The Terror Tree
