'Powerful, haunting and truly terrifying' CHRIS WHITAKER, author of We Begin at the End

'Beautifully written and epically scary' ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan

'Carly Reagon is one to watch' C. J. COOKE, author of A Haunting in the Arctic

This is the ghost story that won't let you go . . .

Kyle can barely remember his grandfather. So when they inherit his old house - a damp, secluded tower on the edge of a Welsh mountain village - Kyle and his wife, Lydia, feel they are moving into the home of a stranger.

From the start, Lydia hates the house: the disturbing paintings in the attic, the hostility of the locals, the peculiar light that pours through the kitchen window. Kyle thinks Lydia needs a break from London, from the nightmares and the panic attacks. But over the coming weeks, Lydia's sense of dread only becomes more insistent, whilst Kyle is drawn to the house in ways he cannot explain.

Yet as winter approaches, cutting them off, the house must become their refuge. For outside, on the mountain, something is calling to them.

Something that has waited decades, and wants to be let in.

Critic reviews

'Eerie, compelling and wonderfully evocative. It takes no effort to picture the desolate mountain and feel the malevolence its shadow cast. And what an ending! My heart was pounding at the lingering evil that Carly so subtly weaved into the final pages.' (NATALIE CHANDLER, author of WHAT WE DID)

'With its sinister setting & ever-present menace, this intriguing ghost story creates such a sense of foreboding you'll be gripped to the final page!' (ANITA FRANK, author of THE GOOD LIARS)

I was really gripped by this book for quite significant chunks and some of it is genuinely creepy. That said, after a while I just started to get a bit burned out by the unrelenting bleakness of it. There isn’t really much dark and light, but a lot of heavy issues which just may not have been right for me when I was listening. I also want to call out a trigger warning for animal lovers - have to say, I’m a bit bored of this being such a common horror trope.
