'Deliciously chilly' - Guardian 'Humming with suppressed hysteria
and madness' - The Times 'Wonderfully evocative' - Heat Hare House
is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me,
kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become
understandable . . . In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman
arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in
London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the
remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home.
But among the tiny roads, wild moorland, and scattered houses,
something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay
figures and young men sent mad. Striking up a friendship with her
landlord and his younger sister, she begins to suspect that all
might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns
to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate
within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch. Sally Hinchcliffe's
Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine
and The Loney. 'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and
shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis
