Set in a university like no other, CATHERINE HOUSE is spellbinding modern gothic tale with a gripping twist
'Deliciously sinister. It's almost impossible not to be seduced' Louise O'Neill
During your three years at Catherine House you will have no contact with those in the outside world.
Each of our students has been selected as someone who belongs here. You will give to Catherine and Catherine will give to you.
We will not let each other down.
Catherine House is a university like no other. Into its celebrated world steps Ines, a young woman who welcomes the school's isolation rather than its illustrious past. As the gates close and Ines finds herself start to be inevitably seduced by its magnetic power, she begins to realise the question isn't why she chose to come to Catherine House; but why Catherine House chose her.
'A brilliantly observed tale brimming with subtle malevolence' Irenosen Okojie
'Echoes of The Secret History and Never Let Me Go' Daily Mail
'Moody and evocative as a fever dream, CATHERINE HOUSE is the sort of book that wraps itself around your brain, drawing you closer with each hypnotic step' Washington Post

Catherine House is a deliciously sinister novel that bristles with an unsettling glamour. It's almost impossible not to be seduced by Elisabeth Thomas's beautiful writing and the intoxicating world she has created

[A] delicious literary gothic debut - New York Times
-
Gothic horror provides the architecture for an arrestingly strange melange of speculative fiction and teen trauma in this atmospheric debut novel . . . nibbling menace spurs the plot onwards - Observer
-
Echoes of Donna Tartt's The Secret History and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go contribute an intriguing undercurrent to this unsettling gothic concoction - Daily Mail
-
Spellbinding... Surreal imagery, spare characterization, and artful, hypnotic prose lend Thomas's tale a delirious air, but at the book's core lies a profound portrait of depression and adolescent turmoil. Fans of Donna Tartt's The Secret History will devour this philosophical fever dream - Publishers Weekly
-
This has to be one of the most gripping books I've read this year... The read feels claustrophobic, decadent, extreme and sad in equal measure, and I was amazed by the plot - Woman's Way

Moody and evocative as a fever dream, CATHERINE HOUSE is the sort of book that wraps itself around your brain, drawing you closer with each hypnotic step - Washington Post
