The Haunting of Blackwood House, a USA Today bestseller and the rising queen of atmospheric horror, is now in print for the first time! Just because you don't believe in ghosts doesn't mean they can't hurt you.

From bestselling horror author and queen of gothic mysteries, Darcy Coates, comes a chilling story about the shadows of dead thingsβ€”and how they haunt the living. How long could you survive?

As the daughter of spiritualists, Mara's childhood was filled with sΓ©ances and scam mediums. Now she's ready to start over with her fiancΓ©, Neil, far away from the superstitions she's learned to loathe... but her past isn't willing to let her go so easily.

And neither is Blackwood House.

When Mara and Neil purchased the derelict property, they were warned that ever since the murder of its original owner, things have changed. Strange shadows stalk the halls. Doors creak open by themselves. Voices whisper in the night. And watchful eyes follow her every move. But Mara's convinced she can't possibly be in danger. She doesn't believe in ghost stories, and she didn't buy a haunted houseβ€”it's just not possible.

Because ghosts aren't real... are they?
