The terrifying new Hammer novella by Minette Walters, bestselling author of The Sculptress and The Scold's Bridle
Minette Walters is one of England's best-selling crime
writers. She is the author of twelve novels, winning the CWA John
Creasey Award for the The Ice House, the Edgar Allan Poe Award in
America for The Sculptress and two CWA Gold Daggers for The Scold's
Bridle and Fox Evil. She lives in Dorset with her husband and has
been translated into thirty-six languages.
Her fascination with the dark side of the human psyche began when
she read Grimm's Fairy Tales at seven years old. Her favourite
characters were wicked stepmothers whose evil deeds led to their
inevitable doom. She likes to shock her readers by exploring the
underbelly of so-called respectable society, writing compellingly
realistic novels with a claustrophobic edge. When her characters
turn on each other, it's with a vengeance.

"This compact, well-told and extraordinarily atmospheric story
packs more punch than many much longer books."

"This dark novella reads like a particularly grim Grimm's Fairy
Tale, with an all-too-credible contemporary setting."
*Daily Mail*
"Walters is adept at fashioning modern psychopaths, and she's done
a great job here. The Cellar is gratifyingly menacing and, like all
good fables, it carries a strong warning - monsters are made, not
born."
