About this eBook

Josephine began to suspect something was wrong with the crumbling gothic monstrosity next door when its family fled in the middle of the night, the children screaming, the mother crying. They never came back. No family stays at Marwick House for long. No life lingers beyond its blackened windows. No voices drift from its ancient halls. Once, Josephine swore she saw a woman's silhouette pacing through the upstairs room… but that's impossible. No one had been there in a long, long time.


But now someone new has moved next door, and Marwick House is slowly waking up. Torn between staying away and warning the new tenant, Josephine only knows that if she isn't careful, she may be its next victim...

Imagination. Imagination. imagination . I can only wonder how the writer can sleep through the night after writing this story. I don't think I could. Weird but it kept my interest throughout. Helen. 😉xx

I really enjoyed the book. I had a hard time putting it down so could get housework done. Can't wait to start another Darcy Coates book.
