Synopsis

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases, the new pulse-pounding standalone story about the childhood traumas that haunt each of us . . .

“As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, [it] lingers like a ghost long after it’s finished.”―Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House

--

Something dark has always haunted the Esmie siblings.

Violet dreams of a cold woman standing over her bed. Dodie wakes each morning convinced she's drowning. Vale has spent his life tormented by blinding lights and strange figures.

But the greatest haunting of all is their little brother, Ben, who vanished during a game of hide-and-seek eighteen years ago.

When the caretaker of their abandoned childhood home claims he's seen the spirit of a young boy whispering, Come home, the siblings know Ben is calling them back to Fell House.

But Ben isn't the only thing waiting there.

Something sinister has been watching them since they were children. Something connected to the visions that have plagued them all their lives.

And it's been waiting for them to come home.
