The House in the High Wood
Strange things are afoot in the town of Shilston Upcot...
A mysterious owl hovers in the sky, watching and waiting. Mournful voices ring out in the night, crying for a lost child. Townsfolk toss and turn in their sleep, haunted by odd recurring dreams...
And high above the town – in a mansion-house that has stood empty since the terrible days when darkness was an art and fear was a ritual – a new light shines from a window. A new family has taken residence within its unholy walls. And now only one man, the reclusive squire Mark Trench, will dare to investigate the strange signs and omens, and confront the horrible truth: The nightmare has come home again...
