A cocktail bar with a disturbing way of keeping watch

Set in an underground London cocktail bar in the 1990s, Gemma Amor’s horror novella centers on an eccentric owner who monitors the people inside and makes those who misbehave disappear. Politicians, actresses and international stars are among the guests caught up in the bar’s unsettling promise of entry—and the question of getting out. As the ninth standalone story in the Killer VHS Series, it also belongs to a collection of horror novellas marked by found-footage elements and nostalgia for the genre’s 1980s and 1990s heyday.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horror readers interested in psychological horror and an uncanny setting.
  • Readers curious about horror built around surveillance and a venue with unusual rules.
  • Those who enjoy standalone entries in a series featuring found-footage elements and 1980s–90s horror nostalgia.
