Ghost Story (Your Perfect New Chilling Read, as the Nights Draw In . . .)

“Will toy with your pulse and send chills down your spine.” — Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb

A chilling new novel from the Costa First Novel Award–shortlisted author.

The island is abandoned. But she is not alone…

Off the windswept coast of Scotland lies Finish Island—rugged, remote, and long deserted. Once a home, it now stands empty, a place of dark history and deep memory, guarding its stories closely.

Unable to write since her daughter’s death, Seren comes to the island to work, hoping that solitude and silence will unlock her next novel. But the island has memories of its own—restless, unsettled, and unwilling to stay buried.

As strange events grow ever more disturbing, Seren begins to see eerie connections between her past and the island’s history. There is something here—something ancient and unforgiving. Will she uncover its secrets before it’s too late?
