Synopsis
Stephanie Booth is a young woman who works various temp jobs and is always strapped for cash. Because of this, she's always had fairly poor living environments and she's overjoyed when she finds a decently priced apartment in the Perry Barr neighborhood. While she does have some initial misgivings about the decision, the positives seem to outweigh the negatives and Stephanie eagerly signs on as a tenant. Soon after Stephanie begins to experience several strange and inexplicable phenomena that make her start to regret moving in, as she hears odd noises and feels a presence that begins to grow more hostile with each passing night.
Reception
Critical reception has been positive. The Lancashire Post gave No One Gets Out Alive a favorable review, writing that it was "a gripping, gruesome bone-chiller with resonant themes, a supernatural edge and an overwhelming sense of malevolence." Starburst and SFX both gave positive reviews and commented on the book's bleak commentary on poverty, and Starburst wrote that the book was "one that’s frighteningly relevant and all the more compelling for it."
