The Haunted Mansion was the first book released under the Ministry of Anxiety banner. Now, after a long wait, the second book in the Charlotte Entwhistle trilogy is finally available.

The Big Stench follows directly on from the The Haunted Mansion. It takes place only a few days after the disastrous conclusion to the first book.

Like The Haunted Mansion, The Big Stench is also published by the Ministry of Anxiety, an independent banner set up by the author Mark Forrest to publish his own work.

The name Ministry of Anxiety comes from an unpublished manuscript, which may, sometime in the future, see the light of day.
