Klappentext

From bestselling gothic horror author Darcy Coates comes a terrifying story of cruelty, despair, and long-forgotten secrets.

There's something evil stirring in Rookward House...and it will never let you go.

When Guy finds the deed to a long-abandoned house hidden among his late mother's belongings, it seems like an incredible stroke of luck. Rookward House may be dilapidated, tangled in wild vines, and isolated deep in the countryside, but Guy is convinced he can make quick renovations and an easy profit.

But Rookward House has a sinister history that refuses to stay buried. As soon as he arrives, Guy is overcome by a suffocating presence lurking in every shadow and the constant, chilling sensation of being watched. A tragedy shattered a family here decades ago, and an angry spirit still roams the halls, clinging to the building like rot...

Alone and trapped between nightmare and reality-no longer sure which is which-Guy must confront the darkness within Rookward House before it consumes him entirely.
