The Inn Closes for Christmas is a deliciously dark and haunting tale of one man's nightmarish obsession and how far he'll go to escape it. For fans of Shirley Jackson, MR James, and Andrew Michael Hurley, rediscover this forgotten classic.
The Bank manager, as he had done for so many Christmases now, opened the file. And as always, as he opened it he wondered why he must do this each year. For the man had asked him that he should do this every Christmas for as long as he should live.
In the file, the bank manager sifts through some papers - local newspaper cuttings, a pathologist report, a statement from the town's dentist William Sterrill, and a death notice for his wife, Mrs Doreen Sterrill. But it is the last paper that stops him in his tracks. It is the confession of William Sterrill.
In William's confession we learn about the terrible accident that caused his wife to have her leg amputated, the prosthetic leg she then had to wear, how this leg slowly drives William to murder, and then the descent into madness as we walk through William's nightmares, visions, and thoughts.
The Inn Closes for Christmas is also accompanied by a selection of short stories, full of the uncanny and creepy where Hughes points us towards the darkest places in the human psyche with the lightest of touches.

Recensioni della critica
Cledwyn Hughes is Aickmanesque in his ability to unnerve and unsettle, and is at once both uncanny and droll, The Inn Closes for Christmas is a dark and bizarre tale of obsession and its consequences (Lucie McKnight Hardy, author of WATER SHALL REFUSE THEM)
I absolutely loved The Inn Closes for Christmas. Cledwyn Hughes is a master at taking the ordinary and seemingly mundane and transform it into something terrifying. I was gripped the whole way through and devoured it all in one sitting! The Inn Closes for Christmas is perfect for fans of Celia Dale, Celia Fremlin, and Shirely Jackson (Jessie Elland, author of THE LADIE UPSTAIRS)
