Wildwood

'A lush, spellbinding page-turner, Wildwood is also a complex, powerful story of land and legacy. I couldn't put it down.' Flynn Berry, Edgar Award winning author of Under the Harrow and Northern Spy

A chilling debut gothic mystery in the vein of Jason Rekulak and Stacy Willingham about a house with dark secrets beneath its floorboards. A house of secrets.

A forest of whispers. An ancient evil returns. When Elinor unexpectedly inherits Wildwood, her estranged family's estate in rural Vermont, she hopes to build a new life with her family.

But it's not long before she feels isolated and uneasy, haunted by vivid dreams and an eerie mural on the bedroom wall. This house holds dark secrets. Something terrible took place here years ago and it could explain why her family was torn apart.

As the nightmares creep into her waking hours and her visions begin to feel like memories, Elinor embarks on a journey that takes her back and forth in time, from the streets of modern Salem to the haunted corners of this otherworldy house.
