A community cracking under the weight of multiple hauntings. Old ghosts in our world of new fears.
The residents of Somerset Close have been learning to live with Covid-19: social distancing, self-isolating and ‘clapping for carers’. But as national restrictions begin to ease, the grip of something else takes hold.
Graeme and his son Charlie invite elderly neighbour Iris into their support bubble. Except somebody else is already lurking in her house…
Ex-teacher Nigel Fleeting is trying to write his novel, but he is haunted by a past that won’t allow him to move on with his future…
And the Wodesons have baby news. But by shielding themselves further, shunning the outside world completely, something malevolent is allowed to take root in their home…
Before too long all the residents of the close experience the paranormal. But by then, there is no way any of them can leave. A channel has been opened, and when it is ready, something terrible is coming through.
From Stephen Barnard, author of the horror/suspense novels ‘Corner House’ and ‘The Deleted’, the collections ‘Bitterly’, ‘Unlucky Numbers’ and ‘A Very Bad Year’, and the science fantasy drama ‘Portentous’.
