A Dickensian ghost story from the bestselling author of The Heart's
Invisible Furies and A Ladder to the Sky
"A wonderfully creepy novel...magnificently eerie." --The Observer
This House Is Haunted is a striking homage to the classic
nineteenth-century ghost story. Set in Norfolk in 1867, Eliza Caine
responds to an ad for a governess position at Gaudlin Hall. When she
arrives at the hall, shaken by an unsettling disturbance that occurred
during her travels, she is greeted by the two children now in her care,
Isabella and Eustace. There is no adult present to represent her
mysterious employer, and the children offer no explanation. Later that
night in her room, another terrifying experience further reinforces the
sense that something is very wrong.
From the moment Eliza rises the following morning, her every step seems
dogged by a malign presence that lives within Gaudlin's walls. Eliza
realizes that if she and the children are to survive its violent
attentions, she must first uncover the hall's long-buried secrets and
confront the demons of its past. Clever, captivating, and witty, This
House Is Haunted is pure entertainment with a catch.
