Join us in welcoming Rhiannon Grist to Waterstones Cardiff to talk about her new novel, Home Sick, a chilling horror story Join us in welcoming Rhiannon Grist to Waterstones Cardiff to talk about her new novel, Home Sick, a chilling horror about a Welsh woman finding troubling disturbances in her new Scottish home. A troubled woman seeking a fresh start in the Scottish countryside believes her neighbour may be behind the strange disturbances in her home in this psychological horror debut for fans of We Used to Live Here. After a violent incident at work, Tamsin goes looking for a fresh start in a remote cottage far away from her old life. Here she could make real friends, find a job she loves, become a whole new person, even.But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall separating her from a total stranger. Her neighbour is an enigma. Dowdy one moment, vivacious the next, but always wearing an unnerving smile. Tamsin can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong with her, especially when she starts experiencing disturbances in her own home.As the locals share strange stories about her house, and her barely contained paranoia spirals out of control, Tamsin begins to suspect that the past she was so desperate to escape might never let her go. Rhiannon Grist is a Welsh writer of weird, dark and speculative fiction. Her Welsh folk horror, The Queen of the High Fields, won Best Novella at the 2023 British Fantasy Awards. She lives in Edinburgh with her husband and far too many plants. Refreshments will be provided! Please note that our events space is on the first floor, accessible via stairs or lift.
