Titles in This Set Uncle Paul The Hours Before Dawn The Long Shadow Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789124244873 Publisher: Faber & Faber Age Range: Adult (18+) Overview This three-book paperback collection brings together some of Celia Fremlin's most celebrated works of psychological suspense: Uncle Paul, The Hours Before Dawn, and The Long Shadow. Fremlin was a pioneer of the "domestic noir" genre decades before the term existed, mining the anxieties of ordinary British households — nosy neighbours, exhausted mothers, and grieving widows — for maximum unease. Reissued by Faber & Faber, these editions introduce a new generation of readers to her quietly devastating storytelling, perfect for fans of vintage crime fiction who enjoy a slow-burning sense of dread over blood-and-thunder violence. About the Book(s) Uncle Paul unfolds against the backdrop of a seaside caravan holiday, where sisters Isabel and Meg reunite with their half-sister Mildred and her enigmatic husband, Paul — a man once accused of attempting to murder his first wife. As the sun-soaked holiday wears on, old suspicions resurface and the line between hospitality and danger blurs. The Hours Before Dawn , winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America in 1960, follows Louise, a sleep-deprived young mother whose exhaustion becomes a vehicle for mounting paranoia. When a lodger takes a room in her home, Louise becomes convinced something is deeply wrong — but no one else seems to notice, and she can no longer trust her own judgement. The Long Shadow opens with a chilling telephone call accusing recently widowed Imogen of murdering her husband, Ivor, who died in a car accident months earlier. As Imogen tries to rebuild her life, she is drawn into an unsettling web of half-truths, unwelcome visitors, and creeping suspicion that forces her to question who she can really trust.
