From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases, the new pulse-pounding standalone story about the childhood traumas that haunt each of us . . .
“As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, [it] lingers like a ghost long after it’s finished.”—Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
--
Something dark has always hung over the Esmie siblings.
Each one is haunted, but all in different ways.
Violet dreams each night of a strange and cold woman looming over her bed, Dodie wakes in a constant state of drowning and Vale sees beaming lights and probing figures.
But there’s one thing that haunts them the most . . .
The disappearance of their little brother, Ben, who went missing during an innocent game of hide and seek back when they were children.
It’s been eighteen years since the siblings fled their childhood home, Fell House, the one that holds all the ghosts of the past.
But then Violet receives a call from the house’s caretaker. He’s too scared to keep working there. He says he saw the spirit of a young boy whispering two words . . .
Come home.
She, Dodie and Vale all know Ben is back – and he’s ready to lead them to answers they both want and fear.
But there’s a more sinister presence waiting for them at Fell House. Something that’s connected to their visions as children.
Something that wants a violent revenge.
