Description

A terrifying ghost story by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black.

The remoter parts of the English Fens are unruly, deserted and damp, even in the height of summer. In Iyot Lock stands a large, decaying house, belonging to Leonora and Edward’s Aunt Kestrel.

At the time, Edward told himself that the noises he heard around the house were in his head.

But now, 40 years later, the terrifying consequences of what happened to Leonora’s birthday doll are just beginning to surface…
