Shortlisted for the 2015 Costa First Novel Award, The Loney has already been hailed a modern classic. This domestic horror about a boy and his religious family who visit an inhospitable strip of the Northeast coast in order to cure their mute son, has all the hallmarks of a classic Gothic horror - a crumbling old house, a pale girl glanced from a window, villainous locals up to nefarious activities. But what did our own Gothic horrors think of this month's choice?
