"Fans of ghost stories like The Haunting of Hill House and Hell House will love this book." - Horror Maiden
Myles Carver is dead. But his estate, Watermere, lives on, waiting for a new Carver to move in. Myles' s wife, Annabel, is dead too, but she is also waiting, lying in her grave in the woods. For nearly half a century she was responsible for a nightmarish reign of terror, and she' s not prepared to stop now. She is hungry to live again and her unsuspecting nephew, Paul, will be the key.
Julia Merrow has a secret almost as dark as Watermere' s. But when she and Paul fall in love they think their problems might be over. How can they know what Fate and Annabel have in store for them? Who could imagine that what was once a moldering corpse in a forest grave is growing stronger every day, eager to take her rightful place amongst the horrors of Watermere?
