Evil runs deep at Mordenhyrst Hall. But it is rooted far deeper than the foundations of the ancestral home.

A new historical chiller from the terrifying pen of Catherine Cavendish...

Evil runs deep at Mordenhyrst Hall. When Grace first sets eyes on the imposing Gothic Mordenhyrst Hall, she is struck with an overwhelming sense that something doesn't want her there. Her fiancé's sister heads a coterie of Bright Young Things whose frivolous lives hide a sinister intent. Simon, Grace's fiancé, is not the man she fell in love with, and the local villagers eye her with suspicion that borders on malevolence.

Her friend, Coralie, possesses the ability to communicate with powerful spirits. She convinces Grace of her own paranormal gifts—gifts Grace will need to draw deeply on as the secrets of Mordenhyrst Hall begin to unravel.

Author: Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately, as she could neither read nor write properly at the time, none of her stories actually made much sense. However, as she grew up, they gradually began to take form and, at the tender age of nine or ten, she sold her dolls' house and various other toys to buy her first typewriter—an Empire Smith Corona. She hasn't stopped bashing away at the keys ever since, although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.

The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales, advertising, and career guidance, but Cat is now the full-time author of a number of supernatural, ghostly, haunted house, and Gothic horror novels, novellas, and short story collections, including: Dark Observation, The Evil Lurking In Darkened Hallways; In Darkness, Shadows Breathe; The Garden of Bewitchment; The Haunting of Henderson Close; The Darkest Veil; and The Malan Witch.
