SEVERN HOUSE ACQUIRE HORROR NOVELS FROM CHAZ BRENCHLEY

Kate Lyall Grant, commissioning editor at Severn House, has acquired two horror novels from Chaz Brenchley. 

The novels are centred around a strange country house in the north of England that affects everyone who comes into contact with it – some for good, some for ill – in different time periods.  The first book, provisionally titled HOUSE OF DOORS,  will be set during the Second World War.

Kate Lyall Grant said:  “I am thrilled to be reunited with Chaz Brenchley whom I first came across at Hodder and who, I think, is one of the most talented – and underrated – British horror/fantasy novelists writing today.  I’m delighted too to be able to celebrate my first deal with my former S&S colleague, John Jarrold.”

The deal was for World English Language rights. The first book is due for publication in September 2011.
