"Listen only to my voice. Listen to the sound it makes. Concentrate on the next word: NUMB"
It's been a stressful time. You want to unwind. That's understandable. You want to escape. You deserve it. To lose yourself... Dissolve.. Disintegrate... Break down. Don't be scared. Just focus on the voice. The voice is the only thing you can hear. The voice is your whole world. Don't be scared...

"This wasn’t the life Mr and Mrs Olanrewaju conjured up in their dreams. When they thought of Stratford, they pictured the Olympic Park, not a cramped flat in a rat-ridden tower block"
Rotimi is born to loving, if poor, parents. When they see an opportunity to provide him with all the things they never had, they take it - at which point things take a very dark turn indeed. Part horror, part satire, Dipo Baruwa-Etti's Then I Heard a Black Man Cry is a terrifying new fairy tale for a disturbed age.

"He sits in the middle of her room, dizzy and weirded out. He stares at her. Neither of them knows what to do with the other. This goes on for a number of days until the man’s mother takes action. She decides to love him."
This is a story about a dog. It is also a story about love, and abandonment, and hope. About anger, and bitterness, and whether the fish are coming back. About guilt and shame and pride. But mostly, it is a story about a dog.
Vivienne Franzmann's beautiful and haunting The Man, the Man's Mother, and the Dog is a return to classic fireside storytelling. Plug in and immerse yourself in the dark magic of this story of a dog's life. Don't worry. The dog lives.

Vee suffers from sleep paralysis. No big deal right? Loads of people do. Except, nothing is quite as it seems - and with the barriers between worlds becoming more and more porous in these troubled times, things start creeping through that shouldn't be here. Hungry things. Join Vee as she has a chat with her very own demon in Matilda Ibini's comic yet terrifying Don't Panic. Don't Move. Don't Stay.

"You'll never be a grown up if you can't face the dark, it said. Be brave. Be brave"
When his marriage fails to survive the lockdown, a man moves into his Mother's empty house. It's too big for one person - a strange and unsettling place to isolate in. But something far stranger - and infinitely more terrifying - is about to occur. Anthony Neilson's The Ground Floor takes you on a classic journey of poetry and terror: eerie, haunting, beautiful, and straight out of the uncanny valley.

"The government had been looking for an angle, they said. These things would become symbols of hope. Ninety of them. From Plymouth to Carlisle."
This is not a heartwarming story about a sweet old lady. This is not a story about heroes, and martyrs, and knights of the realm. This is a story about the true meaning of dedication. A sharp satire bursting with dark humour cutting insight - Tim Crouch's Milky Drinks is an unsettling story for unsettling times.
