What to expect
Toby's life was perfectly normal . . . until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test.
Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House; an out-of-time existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They're looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that it's time to take them to the sanatorium.
No one returns from the sanatorium.
Withdrawn from his house-mates and living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace, and everything changes.
Because everybody dies. It's how you choose to live that counts.

shocking and gripping, albeit ultimately hopeful and utterly moving, and it’s Sarah Pinborough’s finest novel to date
Sci-Fi Now -
A bleak but compulsive tale…The Death House could be her finest novel yet
The Big Issue -
The Death House is a stunning novel, and a harsh reminder that our lives are simply fragile, fleeting, heart-breaking and most likely destined to end long before we want
Starburst -
First things first: Sarah Pinborough’s latest novel, The Death House, made me cry…The Death House is the best book you’ll read in 2015, guaranteed, and Sarah Pinborough cements her place as one of our finest living novelists
Reader Dad -
The Death House is a dazzlingly emotional account of growing up, death and bits in between as well as an early contender for the book of the year
Upcoming 4 Me -
The Death House is something completely different and doesn’t fall into one definite category. There are many thoughts underlying the storyline but the most prominent ones are an extraordinary love story…it won’t let you go without breaking your heart
