About this listen

 'A modern horror classic from one of the most exciting writers in the field today' Starburst Magazine

Thirteen voices. Thirteen storeys. One dinner party to die for.

An innovative haunted house tour-de-force from the creator of THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES podcast.

GOING UP?

A dinner party is held in the penthouse of a multimillion-pound development. All the guests are strangers - even to their host, the billionaire owner of the building
.
None of them know why they were selected to receive his invitation. Whether privileged or deprived, they share only one thing in common - they've all experienced a shocking disturbance within the building's walls.

By the end of the night, their host is dead, and none of the guests will say what happened. His death has remained one of the biggest unsolved mysteries - until now.

But are you ready for their stories?

Critic Reviews

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.
A modern horror classic from one of the most exciting writers in the field today.
Thirteen Storeys is an excellent horror [...] everyone will find something creepy in Banyan Court.
Thrilling, chilling and thoroughly entertaining
Sims really has created an innovative novel where everything falls into place within its thrilling climax.
A beautifully written contemporary horror novel that I know for sure will leave its mark on me. I don't remember reading anything like this before and it was an absolute delight.
A book that takes old traditions and gives them a contemporary spin. Happy Halloween, all.
An excellent portmanteau novel. It's an ultra modern take on the haunted house story while each tale mixes in different subgenre flavours from techno-fear and shifting architecture to creepy kids and beyond, all building to a joined up climax that's pleasingly violent and gross.
This is an astonishing debut from Jonathan Sims. A wonderful new twist on an age-old genre. 5 out of 5.

I will admit, the ending of The Magnus Archives left me adrift, in need of something new and spooky to fill that void. So when I found out that Sims had a book, I knew I had to read it. I was even more excited when I found out that the audiobook version had a full cast with him included. Sims is masterful at horror storytelling, and it is a delight to see the hidden links all come into focus as the story progresses. Highly recommend this book!

I’ve read this book before and it’s just wonderful, Jonathan Sims’ work is phenomenal and his writing really pulls you into the story and keeps you wondering what happens next. I’ve listened to Magnus Archives and read Family Business and have always thought that his writing is just outstanding and I can’t wait to see more from him.

Hooked every second

Each new chapter reveals a new character, fully rounded with their own views of the halls and rooms of the apartment block that they call home.

interesting, visceral and occasionally physically uncomfortable.

definitely worth your time.

creepy, sad and raw
