freedoms on old land, Hanne and Thea’s bond must find a way to

Impossibly good' – Evie Wyld, author of The Bass Rock
Dark and twisted family roots threaten to strangle their home's
foundations in this chilling haunted house novel from
the award-winning master of modern horror,
T. Kingfisher. In this ordinary North Carolina suburb, family
secrets are always in bloom. Samantha Montgomery pulls into the
driveway of her family home to find a massive black vulture perched
on the mailbox, staring at the house. Inside, everything has
changed. Gone is the eclectic warmth Sam expects; instead the walls
are a sterile white. Now, it’s very important to say grace before
dinner, and her mother won’t hear a word against Sam’s
long-dead and little-missed grandmother, who was the first to put
down roots in this small southern town. The longer Sam stays, the
stranger things get. And every day, more vultures circle
overhead…
