A compelling and spooky thriller in the best classic ghost story tradition. Inspired by Stephen King, Mike Lucas is a modern master of suspense.

One island.

One house.

One curse.

Ghosts aren’t real and houses can’t come to life.

Charlotte knows these facts to be true.

Yet when Charlotte and her siblings are orphaned and sent to live with their grandmother on remote Black Island, she begins to realise that only one thing is certain- they shouldn’t be there.

But will they ever be able to leave?

‘A treacherous tale of revenge and repair, and a true Gothic masterpiece that draws deep from the well of Cornish folklore. Sinister, shocking and utterly terrifying.’ – Margot McGovern, author of This Stays Between Us
