A spooky supernatural thriller by the author of the Merrily Watkins series Liam Defford doesn't believe in ghosts. As the head of a production company, however, he does believe in high-impact TV. On the lookout for his next idea, he hires journalist Grayle Underhill to research the history of Knap Hall—a Tudor farmhouse turned luxury hotel, abandoned by its owners at the height of its success. The staff has been paid to keep quiet about what happened there, but the stories seep through. They're not conducive to a quick sale, but Defford isn't interested in keeping Knap Hall for more than a few months. Just long enough to make a reality TV show that will run nightly. A house isolated by its rural situation and its dark reputation; six people—known to the nation but strangers to one another—locked inside; but this time Big Brother is not in control.

I've enjoyed all Phil Rickman's books, but his stand-alones have always been my favourites.
“Night after Night” is a stand-alone, though anyone familiar with Rickman's writing under the pseudonym Will Kingdom, will recognise a few of the characters.
Although it doesn't pack a punch like “Candlenight” or “December”, “Night after Night” is high on athmosphere and creepiness, a slow build-up to an explosive ending.
