Tom Shift and Oliver Keele are pen-pals. They were introduced through their cancer clinics. From reading Oliver’s letters, Tom has deduced that Oliver is lonely and somewhat nomadic. He appears to live hand to mouth at a series of cheap B&Bs. When Oliver suggests they meet up, Tom agrees. Neither of them have long left. While Saltwash seems an unlikely kind of place for a holiday, he goes with it. The Castle Hotel is one of the few places still open in an off-season seaside town that has definitely seen better days but it’s surprisingly busy. It becomes clear that the guests are all there for some kind of reunion, and that they know Oliver. Little by little it becomes clear that all the guests have dark and troubled histories. They are drawn to the hotel for the opportunity to win the lottery. Which for them, is the chance to have the memories of their wrongs to be eradicated.

It was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made the wax child, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image of a small human. For days, she carried it tucked beneath her arm, shaping it with the warmth of her flesh, giving it life. She fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open, and yet – it watches and listens. Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial, ‘The Wax Child’ is a mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.

It is 2030, and a three-person human crew are on a ship travelling to Mars as part of a colonizing mission. Four years earlier, three robots were sent to the planet to build the base for the humans but when the human crew arrive, they discover a third of the base has been destroyed and only two of the three robots remain. When the humans question the robots, the robots offer two overlapping but different stories: the first believes they were attacked by a hostile extra-terrestrial ‘other’, the second attests the attack was the result of a violent malfunction on the part of the third robot – a being that still stalks the Martian desert. As the mystery slowly unravels, the humans and the robots play a deadly game of cat and mouse to find out the truth of what has happened at the base. As secrets are revealed – about both the humans and the robots – the truth about what has happened at the base comes to light in a horrifying and gruesome c
