The book works both as a collection of inventive horror stories and as a cohesive novel, building to a nerve-jangling finale that reveals the shocking events at the party. ![]() The portmanteau novel rewinds to tell the stories of the guests and the varied supernatural events they experienced in Banyan Court, leading up to their party invitations from Fell. During a party at his penthouse suite, Fell was horribly butchered – a mystery that has been puzzling conspiracy theorists for years, as none of the 13 guests, all residents or workers at the block, will divulge what happened that night. Tobias Fell was the ruthless billionaire owner of Banyan Court, a high-rise development that combines luxurious apartments for the super-rich alongside more affordable housing. As might be expected from someone who has been terrifying listeners for years, his first novel, Thirteen Storeys (Gollancz, 16.99), combines a creeping sense of unease with all-out gore. Jonathan Sims is known as creator and presenter of The Magnus Archives, a podcast relating the exploits of a fictional paranormal institute. ![]()
