The Ones Who Never Left

Launches on Monday 6th October 2025 ~ Available to pre-order

This gothic thriller delivers a masterclass in terror and suspense.

Newlyweds Hugh and Lucy become property guardians of 'haunted' Rook House in rural Yorkshire, unfazed by local claims about its past. As Hugh puts it: 'What old house standing alone in the countryside doesn't have stories attached to it?'

The young couple regard the house as a haven to rekindle their creative sparks in beautiful, tranquil surroundings.

But it soon becomes clear that someone – or something – in Rook House has been waiting for its latest occupants… waiting to unfold a story that’s been whispered down the years but gone unheard. Now a malevolent force awakens, exploiting the hidden darkness in two people who barely know themselves – let alone each other.

Rook House has a story to tell. And if you listen too closely, you’ll end up joining the ones who never left.
