Summary
A chilling, haunting ghost story set in the modern day which delves into the real-life legend of a 19th century sea witch…
Previously published as The Drowning Pool in 2011
Relocated to a coastal town, widowed teacher Sarah Grey is slowly rebuilding her life, along with her young son Alfie. But after an inadvertent séance one drunken night, her world is shaken when she starts to experience frightening visions.
She tries to explain them away. But Alfie sees them too and Sarah believes that they have become the targets of a haunting attack.
Convinced that the ghost is that of a 19th Century local witch, Sarah delves into local folklore and learns that the witch was thought to have been evil incarnate. And when a series of old letters surface, Sarah discovers that nothing is as it seems, not even the ghost who haunts her very home…
Perfect for fans of The Midnight House, The Familiars and The Lighthouse Witches.
