Howe S: A Thorn in the Rose

A Thorn in the Rose

The must-read debut thriller of 2026! Dark, twisty and shocking

Darkrooms

* FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET * 'One of our finest literary horror writers' - SUNDAY TIMES 'A dark, grimly compelling and very twisty tale' - GUARDIAN 'A beguiling, haunting modern fairy tale' - DAILY EXPRESS The Nowhere Children are expecting you... High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily. Its last owner was its most famous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House as a refuge to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home. Years later, Nowhere valley has become a sanctuary for runaway children, a place where adults cannot enter. Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But the Nowhere Children are fierce in defending their valley and their secrets. For something dark lives in the ruins of Nowhere House, something that asks a terrible price for sanctuary... 'Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding' - OLIVIE BLAKE 'So sharp and beautiful it draws blood and leaves scars' - GRADY HENDRIX 'Gorgeous, dangerous, mythic and horrific. A remarkable storyteller' - A.J. FINN 'Broke my heart a dozen times and held me spellbound throughout' - SARAH HILARY 'A creepy, clever and heartrending story, compelling and beautifully crafted' - EMMA HEALEY 'Atmospheric and achingly tender suspense from one of our most original writers' - ERIN KELLY
