The Haunting of Gillespie House: USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror, in print for the first time! He might be dead, but he's not gone...

From USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror Darcy Coates comes a haunting story of dread and a lingering poison inside Gillespie House.

Elle is thrilled to spend a month minding the beautiful Gillespie property. Over an hour's drive from the nearest town, the aging mansion is ideal for someone seeking solitude. But as she explores her new home, Elle makes a startling discovery—there's a graveyard nestled deep in the woods, containing a generation of the house's residents... all who died the same year.

Then things start to go very wrong, very quickly.

There are skittering noises inside the walls... slamming doors... whispers in the night... a locked room... and a horrifying mystery that wants to be solved. As she investigates further, Elle begins to unravel the property's dark and dangerous history. At its center is Jonathan Gillespie, a tyrannical cult leader and the house's original owner. And as Elle soon learns...

Just because he's dead, doesn't mean he's gone.
