Alison Littlewood recommends

Where the Dead Wait (2023)
Ally Wilkes
"An astonishing achievement. The writing is raw, bloody and powerful, and makes me wonder if Ally Wilkes has fire and ice flowing in her veins. This is a book not so much to be described as experienced, so most definitely don't miss it!"

The Grief House (2023)
Rebecca Thorne
"Steeped in mysteries and floodwaters alike, the supposed sanctuary of The Grief House is anything but... With beautifully drawn characters, a perfectly realised atmosphere and a plot that won't let go, this is a terrific read."

The House of Whispers (2023)
Anna Mazzola
"The thrilling tale of a woman caught between the pressures of pre-war Italy and the more mysterious manifestations of something amiss in her own household."

Begars Abbey (2022)
V L Valentine
"An inventive, lavish, twisty ghost story that will keep you guessing and turning the pages until the very end. Atmospheric and hugely enjoyable."

The Haunting of Las Lagrimas (2022)
W M Cleese
"A garden concealing dark secrets beneath its decay, mysterious ruins and a forest full of tangled pathways, all stranded amid the emptiness of the Argentinean pampas... The setting makes for a wonderfully gothic atmosphere in this intriguing historical ghost story."

Such Pretty Things (2021)
Lisa Heathfield
"A wonderfully creepy and unsettling account of the terrors of a child trapped in an uncertain adult world. The suspense grows as that world becomes increasingly untrustworthy and dangerous, resulting in the steady disintegration of normality. A terrific read."
