Multiple award-winning author Geoff Ryman delivers a supernatural thriller inspired by the works of Stephen King, Peter Straub and Amos Tutuola.

Nightmares have always been with people. They warn us about death or things that worry us. They can protect us. But they are made of fear.

Now they want our world, they want our lives. Nightmare is taking us over, one by one.

They're Here follows three Cotswolds families, each of whom is struggling with their own personal demons. Nightmare and unbearable loss come to all of these families. But alongside Nightmare there is always the human spirit and human love.

This standalone tale of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity is set in the same world as the author's critically acclaimed ANIMALS.

Praise for Geoff Ryman's ANIMALS:

"Ryman's mastery over mood and emotion makes it read like a lost John Wyndham novel, with added post-pandemic symbolism. Barking mad then, but bloody brilliant." - SFX

"At its best it is as perceptive, as piercing, as anything he has written. ANIMALS is a fine novel about humans." - Locus
