From the multiple award-winning ghost story writer of Breathe and The Hunting Ground comes his first novel in ten years – a burning nightmare of psychological horror with the pulse of a thriller.
Consumed with guilt following her elder brother’s fatal accident, Holly escapes to the isolated seaside home of Gant House with her family. But the house has a menacing history, and the restless spirit inside has been waiting a long time for a family as perfect as Holly’s to turn up. Who is the child, Lily? And what is the terrifying dark power swirling at the heart of the house, whose touch means death?
Can Holly uncover the truth behind the monster in Lily’s past? Or will she and her family simply become Gant House’s next sacrificial victims?
