SYNOPSIS
In January 1998, a family of five moved into a flat on a small estate in Beeston, West Yorkshire. By November of the same year they had fled, with their lives and nerves in tatters. What happened to the Walkingtons during their time there to cause such a turn-around in what was once such a humorous, close family. In their own words, three of the five members of the Walkington family detail their lives at the time, their separate and shared unexplainable experiences and the emotions, opinions and consequences thrown up from their eleven terrible months back in 1998. With frights so real they'll give you nightmares, lashings of laugh-out-loud humour and interesting explorations into family dynamics; Eleven Terrible Months is a fiction novel that you won't forget in a hurry.

ACCLAIM FOR THE BOOK
“Presented as a true account, written by three members of the family, this is a chilling book that will stay with you. This isn't what you'd expect from a 'haunted house' book . . . it doesn't set out to be shocking or gory, nor is it full of the usual clichés. It simply reads like a genuine, believable tale . . . There were a few times I put the book down, wandered out to the bathroom, and found myself looking over my shoulder! It's creepy without you even realising it. The characters are also great, you can certainly imagine this very normal family going through these experiences, and suffering for them . . . As a bonus, the book is a limited edition hardback, and is gorgeous—it even has one of those little built in ribbon bookmarks, which I wish every book did. If you're interested in haunted houses, ghosts, and the such, but get put off by 'over the top' horror books, you may just love this one!”
The Book Club Forum
“Amityville Horror meets Shameless . . . Chilling but not gratuitously sick. Much is left to the reader’s imagination—which of course makes it all the more creepy . . . a gripping read.”
Telegraph & Argus
“ . . . Royle caused a sensation both in the UK and the US with her first novel, Lucy’s Monster now she looks set to repeat that success with her second book, Eleven Terrible Months. There is no doubting the 25-year-old author has a richly dark imagination and an unconventional authorial style, both of which have already endeared her to avid book collectors across the world.”
Yorkshire Evening Post
“Spine chilling and thought provoking, you’ll want to read [Eleven Terrible Months] twice!”
