Descriere: Tilly Parker struggles through work and her mother's watchful eye while dealing with her husband's recent suicide, when on accident, she finds she can circumvent the grief by dialing his cell phone and leaving him endearing messages. This false hope, this unhealthy progression mounts to obsession, until one day, instead of getting a voicemail, something answers on the other side, something beyond what we see, something old, and something hungry. Now, plagued by grisly manifestations and a sleepy backwards town that is more than just small-minded attitudes and cornfields, Tilly must now face her dead husband's life-threatening past and battle the monsters he couldn't anymore.

'My favourite novel and one I wish I'd written.' ALAN BENNETT Winner of the McKitterick Prize for best first novel by an author aged over 40, and the Hawthornden Prize for imaginative literature. Everyone craves retirement from the Civil Service, don't they? That time for an ageing patriarch to enjoy the fruits of a well-earned pension and the respect of his family; maybe even to indulge in a love of music halls and metropolitan life. If only people would listen and do as they were told... His fourth son William, the long-suffering narrator, is the constant butt of his father's jokes and victim of his brothers' indifference. But as death, divorce and other darker dramas follow, father and son slowly establish a strange harmony.
